A high-contrast display serif with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered joins paired with heavier vertical strokes. The forms are clean and upright, with crisp terminals and a generally restrained, modern construction rather than calligraphic modulation. Round letters show tight, controlled curves and small aperture detailing, while capitals feel tall and stately with generous internal space. Numerals and punctuation follow the same razor-thin/solid-stem rhythm, creating a polished, graphic texture in lines of text.
Best used for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and title treatments where the contrast and fine strokes can be appreciated. It also fits branding and logo work that benefits from a sleek, upscale look, and works well in short editorial blocks at comfortable sizes with adequate line spacing.
The font conveys an elegant, editorial tone with a sense of drama created by its extreme contrast and fine detailing. It reads as contemporary and premium—suited to fashion, culture, and luxury contexts where a sharp, sophisticated voice is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast look: crisp, controlled letterforms that feel luxurious and attention-grabbing in display typography while remaining composed enough for select editorial use.
In text, the strong thick–thin rhythm produces a lively sparkle and pronounced vertical emphasis, especially in large sizes. Hairline strokes appear intentionally delicate, giving the design a refined, high-end finish while keeping the overall silhouette disciplined and uncluttered.
