A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The design favors vertical stress and clean, upright construction, with narrow joins and finely tapered terminals that give strokes a sculpted, polished look. Capitals are elegant and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with compact, neatly bracketed forms and refined details on letters like a, e, and g. Numerals follow the same display-minded contrast, with strong main stems and delicate finishing strokes.
Well-suited for magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium branding, and poster typography where sharp contrast can create impact. It also works for pull quotes and titling in editorial design, especially when set with generous line spacing to preserve the delicacy of the hairlines.
The font conveys a sophisticated, editorial tone—confident, stylish, and intentionally dramatic. Its razor-thin details and poised proportions suggest luxury contexts, lending a sense of prestige and formality without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif voice—combining traditional proportions with striking contrast and precise finishing. It prioritizes elegance and punch for display and editorial composition over understated, low-contrast text neutrality.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as intentionally sharp and refined, emphasizing a premium, print-like texture. The overall color is lively due to the extreme contrast, and spacing appears calibrated for headlines and prominent settings where the fine details can be appreciated.
