A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and dominant vertical stems, producing a crisp, elegant rhythm on the page. Serifs are finely cut and generally bracketed, with pointed terminals and clean joins that keep counters open despite the dramatic stroke modulation. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows a traditional text build with compact curves and a sturdy, readable skeleton; the italic is not shown. Figures follow the same contrast logic, with delicate thins and prominent thick strokes that suit display sizes particularly well.
Best suited for editorial headlines, magazine spreads, book covers, and premium branding where the high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for pull quotes and short bursts of text in layouts that can support its bright, vertical color and fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a sense of luxury and formality typical of fashion and literary typography. Its sharp contrast and tidy detailing convey sophistication and authority rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice with strong vertical emphasis and refined hairline finishing, balancing traditional letterforms with a clean, contemporary sharpness for display-driven typography.
In paragraph settings the contrast creates a strong vertical texture, and the thin connecting strokes and hairline serifs become the key determinants of size and background choice. At larger sizes it reads as precise and glamorous; at smaller sizes it will rely on sufficient resolution and ink control to keep hairlines from fading and thick strokes from filling in.
