A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and very fine hairlines, producing a crisp light–dark rhythm. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, and terminals often finish in pointed, wedge-like cuts. Curves are taut and controlled, with a generally upright axis and a clean, formal texture in text. Proportions are moderately narrow-to-normal overall, with a balanced x-height and clear differentiation between rounded and straight forms.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display applications where its high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also works for editorial layouts and brand systems that want a classic, upscale voice, especially when set with generous spacing and comfortable line height.
The font conveys a polished, editorial tone with a sense of luxury and formality. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing feel confident and composed, leaning toward refined, fashion-forward communication rather than casual or rustic moods.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast serif principles—prioritizing elegance, vertical emphasis, and refined detail for premium editorial and branding use.
In larger sizes the hairlines and finely cut joins become a defining feature, giving headlines a sparkling, engraved-like presence. In paragraph settings it maintains an elegant cadence, though the extreme thin strokes make the overall color feel airy and sophisticated.
