A refined serif with pronounced vertical emphasis and razor-thin hairlines set against strong, straight stems. Serifs are sharp and mostly unbracketed, creating crisp terminals and a clean, engraved feel. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are controlled, while curves (notably in C, G, S, and the numerals) show smooth, polished transitions that heighten the contrast. The lowercase stays compact with tall ascenders and delicate joins, and the overall rhythm reads sleek and precise rather than textural or calligraphic.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where its hairlines can remain intact and its contrast can be appreciated. It fits fashion and lifestyle editorial design, premium branding, packaging, and elegant event materials, and can work well for short passages when set with generous size and comfortable tracking.
The tone is elegant and high-end, with a poised, runway/editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and fine details convey sophistication and formality, leaning toward classic luxury rather than casual or utilitarian communication.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance, clarity of silhouette, and a premium editorial voice. Its narrow, upright stance and sharp finishing suggest an intent to feel modern and cultivated while retaining traditional refinement.
At larger sizes the thin horizontals and hairline serifs read especially crisp, while the tight spacing and narrow proportions produce a concentrated, stylish density in text. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, giving figures a polished, display-oriented presence.
