A delicate, high-contrast serif with strongly vertical stress and crisp, hairline transitions. Stems are slender but firm, while horizontals and connecting strokes drop to extremely fine lines, creating a sharp black–white rhythm. Serifs are narrow and pointed with clean, unbracketed joins, and the overall drawing favors smooth, sculpted curves (notably in bowls and the S) paired with precise, flat terminals on many horizontals. Proportions feel open and slightly extended, with generous spacing that helps the thin details stay distinct in display settings.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, branding wordmarks, and large-format titles where its contrast and detailing can read clearly. It can also work for invitations or luxury packaging when set with ample size and spacing to protect the hairlines.
The face conveys a polished, upscale tone associated with fashion and cultural publishing. Its dramatic contrast and razor-like finishing give it a poised, ceremonial presence—confident and formal rather than casual or utilitarian.
Likely drawn to deliver a modern take on classical high-contrast serif construction: a display-forward design that emphasizes elegance, verticality, and crisp finishing for sophisticated typographic atmospheres.
In the sample text, the thinnest hairlines and small interior joins become the main fragility points, while uppercase forms stay stately and calm. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with elegant curves and fine terminals that reinforce a premium, print-like character.
