A high-contrast serif with extremely thin hairlines set against weighty verticals and sweeping, sculpted curves. Strokes show pronounced tapering and flared endings, producing sharp, elegant terminals and a slightly calligraphic stress. The capitals are wide and stately with clean, minimal crossbars, while the lowercase keeps a moderate rhythm with compact bowls and narrow joins. Overall spacing feels deliberate and airy, emphasizing the font’s crisp outlines and fine details.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines can remain visible: headlines, magazine and book covers, fashion and culture editorial, and premium branding systems. It can also work for short pull quotes and large-format packaging where contrast and elegance are the primary goals.
The tone is polished and theatrical, balancing classic sophistication with a contemporary, fashion-forward edge. Its strong contrast and knife-thin details create a sense of luxury and precision, lending text a curated, high-end character.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-contrast reading experience for display typography, combining classical serif structure with flared, tapered stroke behavior for heightened drama and refinement.
Round forms like O/C/Q read as smooth, near-elliptical silhouettes with hairline connections, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) come off sharp and tensile. Numerals follow the same display logic, with bold main strokes and very fine linking hairlines, keeping the set cohesive across letters and figures.
