A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, thick main stems, and very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are taut and controlled, counters are relatively tight, and joins stay clean even where strokes narrow to hairlines. Capitals read tall and stately, while the lowercase shows compact bodies and slender extenders; overall spacing feels poised and slightly airy, supporting a bright, high-contrast page color.
Well-suited for large-scale typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, cultural posters, and premium branding. It can also serve for short-form editorial text, pull quotes, and titling where crisp printing or high-resolution screens preserve the thin strokes.
The font conveys a polished, high-fashion tone—confident, formal, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted shapes evoke classic print refinement and a premium, editorial voice rather than casual or utilitarian text.
Designed to deliver an elegant, high-contrast voice with a traditional foundation and contemporary sharpness. The emphasis on vertical structure, fine hairlines, and precise serifs suggests an intention to excel in refined display and editorial settings where sophistication and drama are desired.
Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant, thin terminals and bold verticals that stand out in display settings. In the text sample, the rhythm is lively and sophisticated, but the finest hairlines suggest it will look best when reproduction is clean and sizes aren’t too small.
