A refined serif with pronounced vertical emphasis and sharp, hairline transitions between thick and thin strokes. Serifs are finely tapered and crisp, with a clean, engraved-like finish and minimal bracketing. Capitals are tall and narrow with ample sidebearings, while the lowercase shows compact, poised shapes and delicate terminals that keep texture light and airy. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, reading formal and display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial display roles where its high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It can support premium branding—especially beauty, fashion, hospitality, and cultural institutions—when used at larger sizes or with generous spacing. For longer passages, it will perform best when given sufficient size and comfortable leading to preserve the fine stroke detail.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a poised, high-fashion sensibility. Its steep contrast and taut proportions create a sense of drama and precision, leaning toward formal, luxury, and editorial moods rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography: tall, elegant forms with razor-thin details that project luxury and authority. Its overall construction prioritizes visual refinement and headline presence over ruggedness or purely functional text economy.
In text settings the rhythm stays consistent but the thin strokes and fine serifs become a defining feature, making spacing and size choices important for maintaining clarity. The design’s narrow, vertical silhouette gives headlines a sleek, elongated look and reinforces a sophisticated, contemporary-classic character.
