A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and crisp, tapered stroke endings that subtly flare out of the main stems. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow with carefully sculpted bowls (notably in B, D, O) and sharp, wedge-like terminals on diagonals (V, W, X, Y). The lowercase shows a compact, controlled rhythm: a single-storey a with a pointed ear, a distinctive g with a looped lower form, and a delicate, slightly calligraphic j and y that end in fine hooks. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with hairline joins and sharp finishing strokes that keep the set airy despite the heavy verticals.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and large-format typography where the contrast and hairline details can be appreciated. It would perform well for fashion and culture magazines, luxury branding, packaging, and poster work where a polished, high-end tone is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, projecting a modern editorial sensibility with a touch of classical formality. Its extreme contrast and knife-edge details create a dramatic, fashion-forward voice that feels premium and intentionally stylized rather than utilitarian.
The design reads as an editorial display serif aimed at delivering maximum contrast and sophistication, using flared, tapered endings and sculpted bowls to achieve a glamorous, modern-classic look.
Spacing appears tuned for display, with strong vertical emphasis and frequent hairline connections that can visually sparkle at larger sizes. Fine strokes and pointed terminals add a crisp, slightly brittle elegance that benefits from generous reproduction conditions.
