A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and crisp, hairline serifs. The design is relatively narrow with a tall, poised presence, using straight stems and tight curves that snap into fine terminals. Serifs are clean and mostly unbracketed, with a distinctly “cut” look on many joins and ends; bowls and apertures stay controlled rather than overly round. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented structure with compact counters, while figures follow the same contrast logic and read as sleek and display-leaning.
Best suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, covers, and other editorial display uses where its contrast can shine. It can also work for luxury branding and formal printed pieces such as invitations or packaging, particularly when paired with ample whitespace and supportive body text.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking luxury publishing and fashion branding. Its sharp contrast and disciplined proportions create a sense of formality and sophistication, with a slightly dramatic, attention-seeking edge in larger settings.
This appears designed to deliver a classic high-fashion editorial voice: refined, vertically oriented, and contrast-driven, prioritizing elegance and impact over rugged small-size utility.
At text sizes the hairlines and thin joins can feel delicate, especially in dense passages, while at display sizes the sculpted contrast and tight rhythm become the main character. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright.
