A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical rhythm. Hairline joins and terminals contrast with sturdy vertical stems, creating a crisp, high-end texture. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with minimal bracketing and clean, decisive endings. Curves are smooth and sculpted, and the overall spacing and proportions read as composed and deliberate, with a slightly calligraphic, vertical-stress feel across both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, large-format editorial typography, and brand marks where its fine hairlines and contrast can be appreciated. It works especially well for fashion, beauty, and luxury-oriented layouts, as well as sophisticated packaging or event collateral that benefits from a dramatic, high-contrast serif texture.
The tone is elegant and editorial, projecting sophistication and a sense of luxury. Its dramatic contrast and razor-fine details give it a stylish, runway-and-magazine character that feels premium and curated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on the classic contrast serif: elegant proportions, vertical emphasis, and hairline detailing aimed at premium display typography. It prioritizes refinement and visual impact in larger sizes, emphasizing crispness and a polished, editorial voice.
Uppercase forms feel stately and display-oriented, while the lowercase maintains clarity with controlled counters and a polished, contemporary finish. Numerals and punctuation echo the same razor-thin hairlines and strong stem contrast, helping headings and short lines feel crisp and intentional.
