A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty main stems, giving a crisp, polished texture. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with pointed, calligraphic-looking entry/exit strokes on several letters. The proportions lean slightly narrow with tall capitals, a moderate x-height, and clear stroke modulation that produces strong vertical emphasis. Curves are smoothly sculpted and the joins are clean, creating a precise, print-like rhythm in both the uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine styling, and brand identities that benefit from a refined, high-contrast serif voice. It will also perform well in large-format applications such as posters and title treatments where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated.
The font conveys an upscale, editorial tone—confident and refined, with a hint of drama from its extreme contrast and razor-thin detailing. It feels classic and cultivated rather than rustic, suited to sophisticated brand voices and formal settings.
The design appears intended to modernize classic serif forms through extreme contrast and precise detailing, creating a premium, fashion-forward look that remains rooted in traditional typography.
In text, the thin hairlines and delicate serifs create pronounced sparkle and a lively rhythm, especially around letters with sharp terminals (such as a, s, y, and z). Numerals follow the same contrast logic and appear designed for display-friendly clarity, with elegant curves and strong thick–thin transitions.
