A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and hairline horizontals, producing a sharp, polished rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed, with crisp bracketless joins and tapered terminals that feel calligraphically cut rather than blunt. Capitals are stately and open, while lowercase forms show tight apertures and sculpted joins (notably in a, e, s), creating distinctive countershapes. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a clean baseline and a slightly formal, display-oriented stance.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and branding where high contrast and refined detailing can be showcased at larger sizes. It also works well for invitations and premium packaging, especially in short lines and display settings rather than extended body text.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a dramatic sheen typical of fashion and editorial typography. Its delicate hairlines and sculpted curves convey sophistication and precision, leaning more chic and modern than rustic or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance and distinctive inner shapes for memorable display typography.
The font’s identity is strongly shaped by its sharp contrast transitions and the characteristic teardrop/triangular counters seen in several letters, which adds a recognizable, stylized texture in words. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast and look best when given room to breathe, as dense setting can make the inner shapes feel tight.
