A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and strong, vertical main strokes. Serifs are fine and pointed with a crisp, chiseled feel, and curves show a smooth, controlled modulation that reads as vertical-stress. Proportions feel fairly classical with generous capitals and compact, tidy lowercase; counters are clean and open, and the overall rhythm is even and well-composed. Figures are lining-style in appearance with similarly dramatic contrast and delicate terminals, matching the text weight and texture.
Best suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, and brand systems that need an upscale, high-contrast voice. It performs especially well in larger sizes for titles, pull quotes, and luxury-oriented packaging or identity work where its delicate hairlines can remain clear.
The font conveys a polished, luxury tone—poised, formal, and slightly dramatic. Its sharp hairlines and refined detailing suggest fashion, culture, and prestige, with a confident presence at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif for sophisticated communication—balancing classic letterform structure with sharp, fashion-forward refinement.
In text, the thin connecting strokes and fine serifs create a bright, sparkling texture, while the heavier verticals keep the page color anchored. The design’s crisp terminals and controlled curves give it a precise, contemporary finish despite its traditional foundation.
