A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, combining slender hairline horizontals and serifs with stronger vertical stems. Serifs are sharp and finely cut, generally unbracketed, producing a crisp, incisive edge and a polished rhythm in text. Proportions feel classical and measured: capitals are stately with wide bowls (notably C, O, Q) and tapered joins, while lowercase shows a compact, controlled structure with delicate terminals and a distinctly two-storey g. Numerals follow the same display-oriented logic, with thin joins and strong stem emphasis that keeps the set visually cohesive.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and high-end branding where contrast and sharp serif detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or captions when set generously, but it visually shines most in larger sizes and refined layouts.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, communicating formality and editorial sophistication. Its contrast and hairline details evoke a fashion-and-culture sensibility—precise, confident, and designed to feel premium rather than utilitarian.
The font appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classical serif construction, prioritizing elegance, contrast-driven drama, and a pristine typographic finish for editorial and branding contexts.
In the sample text, hairlines and fine serifs create a bright, shimmering texture at larger sizes, while the strong verticals preserve letter identity and spacing clarity. The design favors clean joins and pointed terminals, lending a slightly calligraphic sharpness without becoming ornamental.
