A high-contrast serif with hairline finishing strokes and strong, sculpted main stems. Serifs are sharp and fine, with a predominantly modern, chiseled feel and occasional subtle bracketing where strokes meet. Curves are taut and clean, with narrow apertures in several forms and a crisp overall rhythm. The lowercase shows compact, rounded bowls and a distinct, calligraphic influence in the two-storey “g,” while figures and capitals maintain a poised, display-forward presence.
Well suited to magazine headlines, article titling, and editorial layouts where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fashion applications, and premium packaging or invitations that benefit from a refined serif voice.
The typeface projects a polished, editorial tone—confident, stylish, and slightly dramatic. Its crisp contrast and fine details evoke luxury and contemporary publishing, balancing classic serif cues with a modern, fashion-oriented finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif look with pronounced contrast and crisp finishing strokes, optimized for impactful display typography while remaining orderly enough for short-form text settings.
At larger sizes, the hairline elements and pointed terminals read as deliberate detailing, giving headlines and pull quotes a precise, upscale character. In continuous text, the strong contrast creates a lively texture and a pronounced vertical cadence.
