A crisp, high-contrast serif with tall proportions and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Thick stems are paired with very thin hairlines and fine, mostly unbracketed serifs that end in sharp points, creating a precise, chiseled silhouette. Curves are smooth and tightly drawn, with small, delicate joins and pronounced thin connections in letters like B, R, S, and a. The overall spacing and widths vary naturally across glyphs, producing an elegant, display-oriented texture that stays consistent from capitals to lowercase and numerals.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines and fine serifs can remain clear—magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and dramatic poster typography. It can also work for short pull quotes or section titles where a refined, high-end voice is desired.
The font conveys a polished, editorial tone—confident, upscale, and slightly theatrical. Its razor-thin details and strong thick–thin modulation read as refined and fashion-forward, with a classic, print-culture sensibility.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on classic high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing sharp detail, vertical elegance, and a striking headline presence.
Capitals feel stately and sculptural, while the lowercase maintains the same sharp contrast without becoming overly condensed. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with distinctive, high-style forms (notably the curved 2/3 and the strong 8/9), reinforcing a headline-focused personality.
