A sharply contrasted serif with pronounced vertical stress and extremely fine hairline horizontals. The design pairs tall, elegant capitals with crisp, unbracketed serifs and tapered terminals, creating a polished, high-fashion silhouette. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow joins and delicate links (notably in forms like e, a, and g), while round letters keep a clean, poised oval. Overall spacing and rhythm read airy and precise, emphasizing thin strokes and clean edges at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, covers, pull quotes, and brand marks where its hairline details can remain intact. It excels in fashion/editorial layouts, beauty and luxury packaging, and large-format posters, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The tone is sophisticated and theatrical—cool, polished, and editorial. Its razor-thin details and sculpted serifs suggest luxury branding and fashion-minded typography rather than utilitarian text setting.
The font appears designed to deliver a modernized classic high-contrast serif voice—prioritizing elegance, sharp refinement, and visual drama for display typography. Its consistent vertical stress, crisp serifs, and delicate horizontals aim to create a premium, editorial impression.
The numerals echo the same high-contrast logic, with graceful curves and fine hairlines that feel tailored to large-scale use. The lowercase shows a classic, serifed structure with elegant ascenders and compact internal apertures, reinforcing a disciplined, print-like cadence.
