A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines set against strong vertical stems and a distinctly vertical stress. Serifs read as fine, largely unbracketed strokes with sharp, clean finishing, giving a crisp, engraved look. Capitals are tall and stately with generous internal counters, while lowercase forms keep a measured, bookish rhythm; round letters show tight, polished curves and pointed joins where hairlines meet stems. Overall spacing appears even and controlled, supporting a composed texture in text despite the dramatic contrast.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and magazine-style editorial layouts where high contrast and sharp serifs add sophistication. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and packaging, especially in large sizes where the hairlines and terminals retain definition.
The font conveys a refined, editorial tone with an elegant, couture-like sheen. Its sharp hairlines and upright posture suggest formality and precision, leaning toward classic luxury rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice: crisp, upright, and contrast-driven, optimized for elegant typography and premium presentation. It prioritizes polished silhouettes and a refined page color over ruggedness or utilitarian neutrality.
In the samples, the thinnest strokes become notably delicate, so the design’s character is most pronounced at display and headline sizes where the contrast and fine serifs can remain clear. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, integrating smoothly with the text color and maintaining a dignified, traditional feel.
