A refined serif with strong vertical emphasis and sharply tapered hairlines contrasted against sturdy main stems. Serifs are thin and crisp with minimal bracketing, giving joins and terminals a clean, cut-in feel rather than soft transitions. Curves are smooth and controlled, with round forms that read slightly oval and neatly finished apertures; the overall rhythm alternates between very thin connecting strokes and confident thick verticals. Capitals feel stately and measured, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height and clear counters, keeping paragraphs legible despite the delicate hairlines.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine and editorial headlines, luxury identities, and high-end packaging where contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It also works well for book and album covers, event materials, and formal invitations; for longer reading, it will perform most comfortably in larger point sizes with ample leading.
The tone is elegant and high-end, with a poised, editorial polish that suggests fashion, culture, and premium branding. Its dramatic contrast and fine detailing convey sophistication and ceremony, making the texture feel curated and intentional rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast serif: crisp, elegant, and visually striking, optimized for impactful titles and polished editorial settings.
In text, the hairlines and serifs create a sparkling, high-detail surface; larger sizes showcase the thin strokes best, while smaller sizes may require generous spacing and careful reproduction to preserve the delicate details. Numerals and capitals carry the same formal, high-contrast language, producing a cohesive, classic display color.
