A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes transition quickly from thick stems to fine connecting hairlines, creating a sharp, elegant rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Many joins and terminals show subtle flaring and tapering rather than blunt cuts, and the overall silhouettes feel sculpted and refined. Proportions lean compact and sturdy in the lowercase, while capitals stand tall and stately with clean, classical structure.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine mastheads, fashion and culture headlines, poster typography, and premium branding. It also fits formal materials like invitations or event identities where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry the tone. For longer passages, it will perform most comfortably at larger sizes where the hairline details remain clear.
The font conveys a polished, editorial tone—confident, refined, and slightly theatrical. Its strong contrast and razor-thin details suggest luxury and tradition, with an assertive presence that reads as formal and headline-forward.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical, high-contrast serif voice—prioritizing elegance and impact through dramatic thick–thin modulation, sharp finishing, and flared detailing at key terminals.
In text, the thin strokes and serifs become a defining texture, producing a sparkling, high-end look that benefits from generous sizes and careful spacing. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, giving figures a fashionable, display-oriented character.
