This serif typeface shows extreme stroke contrast with razor-thin hairlines and strongly weighted verticals. Serifs are sharp and tapered, often resolving into fine points that give the outlines a crisp, sculpted finish. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and the overall rhythm feels polished and deliberate. Spacing appears generous in display settings, helping the delicate hairlines stay legible while preserving a refined texture in text.
It performs best in large sizes where the hairline details and sharp serifs can be appreciated—editorial headlines, mastheads, campaign posters, and premium brand identities. It can also work for short text passages such as pull quotes or invitations when set with comfortable size and spacing, but it is visually optimized for display-led typography.
The tone is elegant and high-fashion, with a poised, editorial feel. Its thin serifs and dramatic contrast create a sense of luxury and ceremony, suited to sophisticated branding and high-impact headlines rather than casual or utilitarian work.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing glamour, precision, and strong vertical stress. It prioritizes impactful silhouette and refined detailing to create a confident, upscale voice in layouts.
Several shapes show subtly calligraphic terminal behavior—especially in letters like Q, R, and the lowercases with tails—adding a slight flourish without becoming ornamental. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with fine joins and delicate curves that visually align with the capitals.
