A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines, strong vertical stress, and sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with pronounced thick–thin transitions that create a glossy, polished texture at display sizes. Capitals feel tall and stately with narrow joins and crisp terminals, while the lowercase maintains a classic book-serif skeleton with compact apertures and a steady rhythm. Numerals and punctuation echo the same calligraphic contrast, mixing sturdy stems with fine, delicate finishing strokes.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display typography in magazines, cultural publications, and luxury branding. It can work for short to medium text in controlled conditions (ample size, generous leading, and good printing or high-resolution screens) where its fine hairlines can be preserved.
The overall tone is luxe and editorial, projecting sophistication and a sense of cultivated taste. Its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing suggest fashion and culture contexts, where a bit of theatricality and refinement are desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, maximizing elegance and visual impact through refined hairlines, sharp serifs, and a composed, editorial rhythm.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as elegant and precise, while in dense text the contrast creates a lively, flickering cadence and strong figure/ground sparkle. The design leans on sharp terminals and tapered strokes to keep forms feeling light even when the thick strokes are substantial.
