A high-contrast serif with prominent vertical stems and extremely fine hairlines, producing a sharp, polished rhythm on the page. Serifs are thin and pointed, with minimal bracketing and crisp, clean joins. Uppercase forms feel stately and spacious with pronounced thick–thin modulation, while lowercase shows long ascenders/descenders and narrow connecting strokes that emphasize a vertical, formal texture. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with delicate horizontals and strong uprights that read as display-leaning even at moderate sizes.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine headlines, book or album covers, and high-end branding where the strong thick–thin contrast can shine. It can work for short passages in refined editorial layouts, but will be most convincing in titles, standfirsts, pull quotes, and other prominent typographic moments.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, with a fashion-and-magazine sensibility driven by dramatic contrast and refined detailing. It feels poised and traditional rather than casual, projecting a sense of luxury and seriousness.
The font appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance, drama, and a premium feel. Its sharp serifs, vertical stress, and delicate hairlines suggest a design optimized for impactful, sophisticated composition rather than utilitarian body copy.
At larger sizes the hairline features look especially crisp and decorative; in dense text or small sizes the fine strokes may appear fragile compared to the dominant verticals, so spacing and size selection will strongly affect clarity. The design’s verticality and sharp serifs create a bright, high-end texture well suited to headlines and pull quotes.
