A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and vertical stress, pairing sturdy stems with extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, often resolving into crisp, tapered finishing strokes. The italic has a clear rightward slant and calligraphic rhythm, with narrow joins and delicate entry/exit strokes that emphasize the contrast. Proportions feel open and slightly extended overall, with uppercase forms that read statuesque and lowercase that keeps a moderate, readable x-height while maintaining a refined, airy texture.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated—magazine titles, section heads, pull quotes, and refined brand marks. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, especially where a sophisticated, high-end tone is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a dramatic sheen that evokes premium editorial typography. Its sharp detailing and taut rhythm project sophistication and formality, leaning toward fashion and cultural publishing rather than utilitarian text.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary high-contrast editorial voice: dramatic forms, razor-fine detailing, and an italic built for stylish emphasis. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact over neutrality, making it a strong choice for premium, image-led typography.
Round letters show strong contrast at the vertical axis, and diagonals in forms like V, W, and X read sleek and precise due to the very thin connecting strokes. Numerals follow the same display-forward logic, with elegant curves and fine terminals that visually match the capitals. The sample text shows a lively italic presence that adds movement while keeping a controlled, polished texture.
