A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, vertical stems, giving the letterforms a sharp, elegant profile. Serifs are delicate and mostly bracketed, with crisp, tapered terminals that emphasize calligraphic construction. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow in rhythm, while the lowercase shows a traditional serif texture with two-storey forms and compact joins that stay clean at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with fine, precise connecting strokes for a polished, editorial look.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display-forward typography where its contrast and fine detailing can remain crisp. It also works well for magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, and book cover titling where an elegant, classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and poised, leaning toward fashion and literary refinement rather than utilitarian text neutrality. Its dramatic thick–thin transitions and sleek finishing details suggest a premium, curated voice suited to elegant branding and high-end communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: formal proportions, refined serif modeling, and a smooth editorial rhythm aimed at premium display typography and sophisticated brand expression.
Round letters show pronounced vertical stress, and diagonals (notably in V/W/Y) feel incisive due to thin interior strokes and pointed joins. The set maintains consistent contrast and spacing, creating a bright, airy page color in larger settings but a more delicate texture as size decreases.
