A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and vertical stress, combining sturdy vertical stems with very fine hairlines. Serifs are crisp and minimally bracketed, creating sharp terminals and clean entry/exit strokes. Proportions are compact and streamlined, with tall capitals, a relatively modest x-height, and tight internal counters that give lines a polished, economical rhythm. Curves on letters like C, S, and O show delicate hairline transitions, while diagonals (V, W, X) keep a taut, chiseled feel; numerals follow the same contrast pattern with slender joins and emphasized verticals.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury brand wordmarks, and high-impact posters where contrast and detail can shine. It can work for short-form text in print-like layouts when set at comfortable sizes with adequate leading, supporting a refined, premium presentation.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and needle-like detailing convey formality and precision, leaning toward fashion and cultural publishing rather than casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif styling, emphasizing elegance, sharpness, and typographic drama. Its narrow, vertical proportions and precise hairlines aim to create a sophisticated, couture-forward voice for headline and branding contexts.
At larger sizes the fine details read as intentional and crisp, while the very thin horizontals and delicate joins suggest it will appear most stable when given generous size, careful spacing, and clean rendering conditions. The design maintains a consistent calligraphic logic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, high-end texture in paragraphs and headlines.
