A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress, crisp unbracketed hairline serifs, and dramatic thick–thin modulation. The capitals are wide and stately, with smooth, oval rounds and cleanly cut terminals, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with slender arches and generous counters. Hairlines are extremely fine in places (notably in diagonals and connecting strokes), and the overall rhythm alternates between bold stems and delicate links, producing a striking, polished texture in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and other display-led applications where contrast and elegance are the priority. It can also work for short pull quotes or section titles when ample size and spacing are available to preserve the hairlines.
The font conveys a formal, editorial sophistication—poised, elegant, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp hairlines and expansive capitals read as premium and fashion-forward, with a classic bookish undertone that feels at home in refined branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on classical high-contrast serifs: wide, stately capitals paired with a readable lowercase and a strong thick–thin drama for attention-grabbing editorial impact.
Large sizes showcase the most confident forms, as the thinnest strokes and serifs become a defining feature of the silhouette. The numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with fine curves and terminals for a tailored, high-style look.
