A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. The letterforms are built on tall, slightly condensed proportions with fine hairline serifs and crisp, sharply cut terminals that stay delicate even in larger text. Round characters (O, Q, o, e) show smooth, even curves with thin horizontals, while stems remain firm and straight, creating a polished, rhythmic texture. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with slender diagonals and refined curves that read as display-oriented while still maintaining control in text settings.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where contrast and refinement are an advantage. It can also serve luxury brand identities, packaging, and formal stationery, particularly at larger sizes where hairlines and sharp details are allowed to breathe.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward feel. Its sharp contrast and airy hairlines convey sophistication and formality, suggesting premium branding and curated print aesthetics rather than utilitarian everyday copy.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif: clean, controlled geometry paired with delicate hairlines and confident vertical stems. It aims to provide a premium, fashion/editorial voice that remains legible and composed in well-spaced display and carefully set text.
The rhythm in running text is bright and articulate, with noticeable sparkle from the thin horizontals and serifs. Several glyphs add personality through subtle calligraphic flicks and tapered strokes (notably in forms like J, Q, g, and y), helping headlines feel stylish without becoming ornamental.
