A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline serifs and strong thick–thin modulation. Curves show a pronounced vertical stress, while straight stems remain clean and upright, producing a sharp, elegant rhythm. Terminals tend toward fine, tapered finishes; joins are tight and controlled, giving counters a polished, sculpted feel. The overall proportions read balanced with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between uppercase display forms and more compact, readable lowercase shapes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, and premium brand identities where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, especially when given generous spacing and used at sizes that preserve the hairline details.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial presence. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing convey refinement and a sense of high-end craft, lending headlines a confident, premium voice.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast serif that prioritizes elegance and visual drama, combining strict vertical structure with delicate finishing strokes for a polished editorial look.
At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and pointed serifs create striking sparkle and an almost engraved crispness, while in dense settings the contrast makes spacing and line breaks feel especially important. Numerals echo the same display sensibility, with bold verticals and fine connecting strokes that reinforce the font’s formal character.
