A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. The forms show a predominantly vertical stress, with slender bracketed serifs that often taper to fine points. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, while joins and crotches stay sharp, creating a polished, print-like rhythm. Proportions are moderately condensed in some letters with noticeable width variation across the set; counters are relatively small in the heavier strokes, and the overall color reads dark at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and large-format typography where the hairlines and contrast can shine. It fits magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty layouts, and premium branding applications that benefit from a refined, dramatic serif voice.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a dramatic, high-fashion sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted curves convey sophistication and formality, leaning toward editorial glamour rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to evoke classic high-contrast serif traditions in a contemporary, highly polished rendering. It aims for strong visual impact and elegance in display settings while maintaining recognizable, conventional serif letterforms.
Uppercase characters carry a stately presence with tall verticals and thin cross-strokes, while the lowercase mixes compact bowls with fine entry/exit strokes for a lively, calligraphic sheen. Numerals follow the same contrast and refinement, giving figures a premium, magazine-ready look.
