A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical axis. Serifs are fine and sharp, often hairline, with crisp terminals that give the outlines a precise, engraved feel. Capitals are relatively narrow and tall with generous internal space in round forms, while the lowercase shows a classic book-face structure with a two-storey a and g, compact apertures, and smooth, controlled curves. Numerals match the refined contrast and appear lining in proportion, keeping a consistent, formal rhythm across text.
Best suited to editorial layouts, headlines, and title typography where its contrast and fine serifs can remain crisp. It can also support refined brand systems—particularly in beauty, fashion, hospitality, and cultural institutions—when paired with ample whitespace and careful reproduction.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, evoking editorial typography and fashion-led branding. Its delicate hairlines and disciplined structure read as cultured and premium, with a quiet formality that suits sophisticated messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end interpretation of classic high-contrast serifs: maximizing elegance and clarity through vertical stress, sharp serifs, and disciplined proportions while retaining a traditional reading rhythm.
The contrast pushes thin strokes close to hairline in several glyphs, which heightens sparkle and sharpness at display sizes. The design maintains a calm, even cadence in continuous text, while the pointed details and fine joins introduce a distinctly modern, polished edge.
