A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, vertical main strokes, creating a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with minimal bracketing, and the joins stay clean to preserve an engraved, polished feel. Capitals are statuesque and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows compact, controlled curves and narrow apertures that keep word shapes tight. Numerals and punctuation follow the same hairline logic, with elegant thin entry/exit strokes and clear, centered alignment.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine titling, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster work. It also works for pull quotes and section openers where a strong, elegant typographic voice is desired.
The tone is refined and editorial, projecting a sense of luxury and formality through its dramatic contrast and disciplined geometry. It reads as poised and sophisticated rather than casual, lending itself to high-end, curated communication.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif conventions, prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a striking editorial presence in larger sizes.
The design’s delicate hairlines and sharp terminals emphasize precision and style, especially at display sizes where the contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. In longer setting, the dark verticals create a strong typographic color that feels confident and authoritative.
