A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, strong thick-to-thin transitions, and very fine hairline serifs. The letterforms are upright and relatively compact, with crisp, sharply cut terminals and minimal bracketing. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and diagonals stay taut, creating a polished, high-precision rhythm. Uppercase forms read stately and structured, and the lowercase maintains a classic, bookish skeleton with clear counters and a steady baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, pull quotes, and refined branding where contrast and elegance are desired. It works especially well in spacious layouts—covers, posters, invitations, and high-end product packaging—where its hairlines can be preserved and its crisp detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is luxurious and formal, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward polish. Its sharp contrasts and delicate hairlines create a poised, high-end impression that feels sophisticated and slightly dramatic. The texture on the page is crisp and airy rather than dense or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion contrast-serif look with clean modern precision: dramatic verticals, delicate finishing strokes, and a composed, premium page texture for display-driven typography.
At larger sizes the hairlines and serifs become a key visual feature, giving headlines a glossy, premium sheen. In longer text, spacing and the thin strokes contribute to a light, sparkling color, while the strong verticals keep the reading line anchored and composed.
