A very high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and thick, sculpted verticals, creating a crisp, calligraphic rhythm. The serifs are fine and sharply finished, with tapered joins and delicate terminals that feel chiseled rather than blunt. Uppercase forms are wide and poised, with generous internal counters and a smooth, controlled stress; round letters stay open and luminous while stems remain dark and authoritative. Lowercase shows a restrained, bookish structure with a modest x-height, narrow entry strokes, and occasional flourish in terminals and descenders, keeping texture light while preserving a clear baseline and consistent spacing.
Best suited to display and larger sizes where its hairlines and sharp serif detailing can remain clear: fashion and culture magazines, premium branding, editorial headlines, and elegant invitations. It can also work for short pulls and deck text where an upscale, high-contrast texture is desired.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a couture/editorial sophistication that reads premium and composed. Its delicate hairlines and sweeping curves suggest luxury and ceremony more than utilitarian neutrality, giving text a bright, high-end sheen.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, editorial interpretation of classic high-contrast serif letterforms, prioritizing elegance, clarity of silhouette, and a luminous page color. Its proportions and refined terminals aim to communicate prestige while maintaining readable, conventional structures.
The design leans on dramatic stroke modulation, so fine details—hairlines, beaks, and thin crossbars—become prominent features of the texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin joins that harmonize with the letterforms.
