A high-contrast serif with thick vertical stems and very thin hairlines that create a crisp, shimmering texture. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered with a mostly modern, streamlined feel, while curves show smooth, controlled modulation. The lowercase mixes compact bowls with prominent terminals and a two-storey “g,” and the numerals and capitals carry strong vertical emphasis with elegant, narrow joins and refined detailing. Overall spacing reads open for a display serif, producing a bold yet polished rhythm in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, large editorial typography, and brand marks where high contrast can read cleanly and confidently. It also fits premium packaging, invitations, and poster work that benefits from a formal, polished serif presence.
The tone is poised and editorial, suggesting fashion pages, upscale packaging, and formal announcements. Its pronounced contrast and crisp finishing give it a dramatic, high-end voice that feels confident and slightly theatrical rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast serif for display-led typography—balancing classical proportions with sharp hairlines and refined terminals to deliver an upscale, editorial look.
In paragraph-like settings the heavy verticals and hairline connections create a strong striped rhythm, so it visually rewards generous sizes and comfortable leading. The shapes favor elegance over neutrality, with distinctive terminals and a refined, contemporary classic character.
