A crisp, high-contrast serif with strongly vertical construction and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The hairline serifs read sharp and largely unbracketed, while the main stems are dark and compact, producing a tight, elegant rhythm. Counters are relatively small for the overall cap and ascender height, and rounds show a refined, controlled curvature with a distinctly formal finish. Numerals share the same dramatic contrast and display-like presence, with clear, sculpted terminals and a consistent baseline behavior.
Best suited to editorial headlines, fashion spreads, and luxury branding where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It works well for posters, invitations, and premium packaging that benefit from a refined, dramatic serif voice. In longer passages it is most effective when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The font conveys an upscale, editorial tone—polished, poised, and decidedly formal. Its dramatic contrast and narrow stance feel fashion-forward and authoritative, lending a sense of ceremony and sophistication to headlines and titling.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern classic serif for display-forward typography, pairing traditional proportions with a crisp, contemporary sharpness. Its emphasis on contrast and clean, knife-like serifs suggests a focus on elegance and impact in titles and branding.
At larger sizes the hairlines and fine joins create a striking shimmer and a distinctly print-editorial texture; the overall color is bold but punctuated by very delicate details. The lowercase has a restrained, conventional structure that supports readable words, while caps and numerals carry a more emphatic, poster-ready impact.
