A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, combining sturdy main stems with extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, often ending in thin, pointed terminals that keep the silhouette crisp rather than softly bracketed. Capitals are stately and relatively wide with generous internal space, while lowercase forms show a calligraphic rhythm: two-storey a and g, a narrow, delicate s, and long, clean ascenders with minimal ornamentation. Numerals follow the same contrast model, mixing strong verticals with thin connecting strokes and refined curves for a polished, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and large-format typography where the hairline details can remain clear. It also works well for magazine and editorial design, luxury branding, and elegant packaging where a refined, high-contrast voice is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and poised, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-minded polish. The thin serifs and hairline joins create a sense of sophistication and ceremony, lending the type a premium, curated feel rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif: dramatic stroke modulation, precise serifs, and an upscale editorial rhythm optimized for display-led settings.
Spacing appears open and measured, producing a smooth, airy line that emphasizes white space and contrast. In longer text settings, the very fine horizontals and hairlines become the most characterful feature, giving the page a bright, shimmering typographic color at larger sizes.
