A crisp, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and extremely fine hairline serifs. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with an overall vertical stress and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm typical of modern, display-oriented serifs. The serifs are sharp and mostly unbracketed, giving the forms a clean, chiseled finish. Proportions read relatively compact with elegant, slightly condensed capitals, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height and clear counters; figures show the same razor-thin details and dramatic modulation.
Best suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and high-impact posters where its contrast and hairlines can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or display subheads, especially in print or high-resolution digital settings.
The tone is polished and editorial, projecting sophistication and poise. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing feel at home in high-end contexts, communicating luxury, seriousness, and a sense of classic modernity.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward take on a modern serif voice, prioritizing sharp contrast, sleek verticality, and refined detailing for display and editorial typography.
At larger sizes the hairline details and delicate joins become a defining feature, while at smaller sizes the thinnest strokes may visually soften or break up depending on reproduction conditions. The overall rhythm is formal and disciplined, with crisp punctuation and numerals that match the text’s elegant cadence.
