A refined serif with striking thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical stress. The design pairs very thin hairlines with sturdy stems, producing crisp, bright counters and an overall airy color on the page. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, and terminals tend toward tapered, slightly flared finishes rather than blunt cuts. Capitals feel tall and stately with generous spacing, while the lowercase keeps a measured, readable rhythm and relatively open apertures in letters like c and e. Numerals are equally contrasty and elegant, with fine joins and pronounced curves in figures such as 2, 3, and 9.
Best suited for display and larger text sizes such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and album covers, and premium brand identities. It can work for short editorial passages where a sophisticated, high-contrast voice is desired, especially with thoughtful spacing and printing or rendering conditions that preserve the fine details.
The font reads as polished and high-end, evoking classic fashion and literary typography with a contemporary, pared-back sharpness. Its pronounced contrast and poised letterforms give it a formal, glamorous tone that feels at home in premium editorial settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern interpretation of classic high-contrast serif typography: dramatic in stroke modulation, crisp in detailing, and optimized for elegance and authority in prominent typographic roles.
In longer text the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a shimmering texture that benefits from ample size and comfortable line spacing. The overall spacing and proportions lean spacious and composed, supporting a calm, luxurious rhythm.
