A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. The forms show a largely vertical axis with tall lowercase proportions and compact counters, producing a poised, upright rhythm in text. Serifs are fine and sharply tapered, often with a slight bracket at joins, while terminals lean toward pointed or teardrop-like endings that enhance the cut, refined feel. Overall spacing reads even and controlled, with a clear hierarchy between sturdy stems and delicate hairlines.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and logotype-style branding where high contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It can work in short text blocks in editorial layouts, particularly at comfortable sizes with good printing or screen rendering, and excels in upscale packaging and promotional materials.
The font projects a polished, high-end tone: refined, dramatic, and distinctly editorial. Its sharp contrasts and clean, poised shapes feel suited to fashion, culture, and luxury contexts where a sense of prestige and formality is desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward take on a classic high-contrast text serif—balancing disciplined, upright construction with sharp hairline details for a premium, attention-grabbing voice.
In the sample setting, the thin strokes stay extremely delicate relative to the main stems, giving the face a sparkling, calligraphic crispness. The numerals and capitals maintain the same display-leaning contrast, helping headings and short phrases feel sculpted and intentional.
