A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, sculpted thick strokes, producing a crisp, glossy texture on the page. Serifs are fine and sharply cut, with subtle bracketing in places and frequent wedge-like terminals that keep joins looking clean rather than heavy. Proportions feel tailored and slightly narrow in the capitals, with generous curves and a pronounced vertical stress in round letters; spacing reads even and controlled in text. The lowercase is compact and steady, with clear two-storey forms (notably the a and g), a delicate, slightly angled crossbar on t, and overall brisk, precise stroke endings that maintain a polished rhythm.
This face performs best in editorial settings where elegance and contrast are assets: magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and refined book typography at comfortable sizes. It also suits premium brand identities, packaging, and invitations where a polished, classical voice is desired and reproduction quality can preserve its fine details.
The tone is poised and upscale, evoking fashion publishing and classic book typography with a contemporary, high-gloss finish. Its contrast and sharp detailing convey confidence, formality, and a distinctly editorial sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: maximized elegance through thin hairlines, controlled proportions, and sharp finishing, optimized for sophisticated display and editorial typography.
In running text the thin horizontals and hairlines create bright highlights and a lively cadence, especially around joins in n/m and the crisp apexes of v/w. Numerals follow the same cut, high-contrast logic, reading as stylish display figures that match the uppercase weight distribution.
