A high-contrast serif with a slender overall build and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with a largely modern, crisp finish and controlled bracketing where strokes meet. Vertical stems dominate, curves are taut and clean, and joins stay precise, giving the letters a polished, print-like rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant, sculpted curves and fine hairline detailing.
Best suited for display and editorial roles such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, cultural journalism, and luxury branding. It can also work for pull quotes, titling, and packaging where crisp contrast and refined detail are desirable. In longer passages, it will typically perform best when given comfortable size and spacing so the hairline features remain clear.
The font projects an editorial, high-style tone—formal and cultured with a hint of drama. Its razor-thin details and confident verticality read as premium and curated, lending a sense of sophistication and ceremony. Overall it feels suited to contexts where elegance and visual authority are more important than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end serif voice that combines traditional proportions with heightened contrast and crisp, fashion-forward detailing. It prioritizes elegance, vertical emphasis, and a clean, premium texture for impactful typographic hierarchy.
The design’s extremely fine horizontals and serifs create a luminous, engraved look at larger sizes, while the narrow proportions keep lines compact. Uppercase forms feel stately and structured; lowercase maintains a traditional book-face feel but with noticeably sharpened contrast and refined finishing. The overall impression is consistent and disciplined, emphasizing clarity of silhouette over softness.
