A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline-thin joins and strong, sculpted main strokes. Serif treatment is sharp and neatly bracketed with subtle flaring, giving many terminals a tapered, carved feel rather than blunt endings. Curves are smooth and controlled, with generous counters and a slightly widened overall stance that helps the thin strokes stay visible at display sizes. The lowercase shows a calm, bookish rhythm with a single-story “g” and a compact ear, while capitals are stately and clean, with precise diagonals and carefully balanced bowls.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, book or film titling, and high-end brand identities where contrast and finish are key. It can also work for short passages, captions, or deck copy when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The typeface projects an editorial, fashion-forward elegance—polished and formal without feeling overly ornate. Its dramatic thick–thin rhythm and sharp finishing details suggest prestige, ceremony, and premium branding contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical high-contrast serif lettering—prioritizing elegance, crispness, and a premium tone while maintaining clear, well-proportioned forms for polished editorial composition.
In text, the hairlines create a bright, shimmering texture and the sharp serifs add a distinct snap at line ends and around punctuation. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and look well-suited to headings, pull quotes, and titling where the delicate stroke work can be appreciated.
