A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and broad, smooth main strokes. Serifs are crisp and finely bracketed, producing pointed terminals and a slightly sculpted, calligraphic finish. Capitals feel stately and open, with generous curves in C/G/O and a sharp, clean apex in A and V/W. Lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented build with a two-storey g, a compact ear on g, and a small, crisp t crossbar; counters are relatively tight in letters like a/e/s, reinforcing a dense, glossy color in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with elegant curves and tapered joins.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and refined branding where high contrast can shine. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes and good reproduction conditions, particularly in print-oriented layouts or high-resolution digital settings.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, balancing classical book-serifs with a fashion-forward gloss. Its dramatic contrast and needle-like details project sophistication, formality, and a sense of editorial authority.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion serif voice: classic proportions and familiar letterforms paired with pronounced contrast and sharp detailing for impact and elegance.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and sharp serifs read as a defining feature, while in longer settings the strong thick–thin rhythm creates a dark, luxurious texture. The design emphasizes verticality and crisp edges, with curves that feel carefully tensioned rather than soft or rounded.
