This serif presents an airy, high-contrast construction with razor-thin hairlines and fuller, subtly flared stems that open into tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, with gentle bracketing and a crisp, chiseled feel rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall rhythm is calm and formal, with generous internal space in round letters and clean, vertical stress. The lowercase keeps a measured, bookish x-height while ascenders feel prominent, supporting a poised, display-leaning texture.
It excels in headlines, magazine layouts, and high-end branding where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It is also well suited to packaging, invitations, and short-form titling in print or high-resolution digital contexts, particularly when set with ample tracking and comfortable leading.
The tone is polished and upscale, evoking fashion mastheads, gallery titles, and literary editorial design. Its sharp contrast and delicate details convey sophistication and restraint, with a lightly dramatic, couture-like presence in larger settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, pairing delicate hairlines with subtly flared, sculpted strokes for a refined display voice. It aims to signal luxury and editorial authority while maintaining clear, disciplined proportions.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and look tailored for titling, with refined curves and crisp joins. In running text the thin hairlines and tight points create a sparkling texture, especially in combinations like W/V/Y and in rounded forms, which emphasizes a premium, modern-classical character.
