This typeface is a high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines against strong main stems. Serifs are delicate and crisp, with sharp, clean joins and minimal bracketing, giving the outlines a precise, engraved feel. Proportions run on the slender side with tall capitals and a relatively compact lowercase, while round letters stay tightly drawn and optically upright. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g”, a narrow “e” with a fine cross-stroke, and a “t” with a light, restrained arm; overall spacing is measured, creating a smooth, continuous text color at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling where the dramatic contrast can shine. It fits editorial layouts, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and premium packaging, especially in large sizes or high-quality print where hairlines remain crisp.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, evoking fashion mastheads, high-end packaging, and classic editorial typography. Its stark thick–thin rhythm and sharp detailing feel formal and curated, with a cool, contemporary polish layered over traditional bookish roots.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern interpretation of classic high-contrast serif models: dramatic structure, refined finishing, and a controlled rhythm aimed at sophisticated display typography. Its tight proportions and precise detailing suggest a focus on creating a striking, luxurious presence rather than everyday utilitarian text.
Numerals follow the same contrast model, with slender figures and fine interior strokes that read best when given adequate size and breathing room. The design’s hairline details and pointed forms create a bright, sparkling texture in headlines, while extended passages benefit from generous leading and careful reproduction to preserve the finest strokes.
