A delicate serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and hairline horizontals, producing a sharp, glossy texture in text. Serifs are fine and mostly unbracketed, with clean joins and a distinctly vertical stress in rounded forms. Capitals are tall and statuesque with narrow apertures and crisp terminals, while the lowercase keeps a measured, bookish rhythm and a moderate x-height. Curves are taut and controlled, and the overall spacing feels intentionally open enough to let the contrast read without clogging.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, and upscale posters where its contrast and sharp serifs can shine. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, particularly in well-printed or high-resolution digital environments.
The tone is poised and luxurious, combining classical formality with a contemporary editorial sheen. Its razor-thin details and upright posture convey precision, prestige, and a fashion-forward sensibility rather than warmth or rusticity.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast serif typography—optimized for elegance, drama, and premium editorial presence while maintaining a controlled, conventional letter structure.
The design emphasizes dramatic stroke transitions—especially visible in letters like S, R, and g—and the numerals follow the same polished, high-contrast logic for a consistent typographic color. Hairline elements are prominent, so the face reads most confidently where fine detail can be preserved.
