This serif shows a sharp, high-contrast build with commanding vertical stems and extremely thin hairlines. Serifs are fine and cleanly cut, tending toward unbracketed, straight terminals that keep the silhouette crisp. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and Q are smooth and taut, with a clear vertical stress and tight joins that emphasize the contrast. The lowercase features a two-storey a and g, compact, well-defined bowls, and a slightly calligraphic snap in the ear and terminals; overall spacing reads controlled and text-ready, while the capitals feel stately and display-oriented.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where the contrast can be appreciated. It also fits fashion and beauty branding, book covers, invitations, and premium packaging, especially when paired with ample whitespace and careful typesetting.
The tone is polished and luxe, with a poised, high-society feel typical of fashion and editorial typography. Strong contrast and hairline detailing create a dramatic, premium voice that reads as formal, confident, and refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: crisp, refined letterforms with dramatic thick–thin modulation and an upscale editorial presence. It aims to balance display elegance with enough structure and regularity to hold together in paragraph typography at appropriate sizes.
The numerals follow the same contrast logic, with slender horizontals and pronounced thick–thin transitions; round figures (0, 8, 9) feel particularly sculpted. In running text the design maintains a steady rhythm, but the very fine hairlines and delicate serifs are visually prominent and benefit from comfortable sizes and good reproduction conditions.
