A sharply contrasted serif with prominent thick–thin transitions, vertical stress, and very fine hairlines. Serifs are crisp and narrow with a delicate, cut-like finish, and curves resolve into tapered terminals that heighten the sense of precision. Uppercase forms feel tall and stately with controlled proportions, while the lowercase maintains a moderate, readable x-height and shows subtle calligraphic modulation in bowls and joins. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender links and strong main strokes that give an elegant, print-forward rhythm.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine branding, and book or album covers where contrast and elegance are assets. It can work for short passages in print-oriented settings when set with comfortable size and spacing, but it particularly excels in larger typographic moments.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and refined detailing create a sense of ceremony and authority, leaning classic rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif construction—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a confident vertical rhythm for editorial and branding contexts.
In text, the fine horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright, sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes where the delicate details can be appreciated. The letterforms remain clean and upright, with a consistent stroke logic across caps, lowercase, and figures.
