A high-contrast serif with extremely fine hairlines set against thicker vertical stems, producing a crisp, polished texture. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, and curves show a smooth, controlled construction with a pronounced vertical emphasis. Proportions run wide with generous sidebearings, and the lowercase reads with a notably tall x-height for this style, keeping counters open and forms legible at display sizes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same etched contrast and clean, upright rhythm, with a generally restrained, formal modulation across the set.
Best suited to editorial display work—magazine mastheads, section titles, pull quotes, and sophisticated packaging or brand marks. It also performs well for formal printed pieces such as invitations and programs, and for large-format posters where the hairline detail and sculpted contrast can read cleanly.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, evoking fashion, publishing, and classic cultural institutions. The fine detailing and dramatic contrast feel premium and ceremonial, while the spacious width adds a calm, airy sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif voice: sharp, refined, and visually dramatic, with widened proportions and a relatively tall lowercase to keep the overall impression modern and readable in prominent typographic roles.
In text settings the thin horizontals and hairline joins create a bright, shimmering color, especially where round letters and cross-strokes meet. The wide set and high contrast favor careful sizing and spacing choices, with the strongest impact in large-scale typography where the delicate details can be fully appreciated.
