A high-contrast serif with vertical stress, combining thick, sculpted main stems with extremely thin hairlines and delicate, unbracketed serifs. Curves are taut and clean, with a distinctly “cut” feel at joins and terminals, and a generally generous width that gives uppercase forms an open, airy stance. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with narrow joins and needle-fine cross strokes, while round letters show strong contrast between heavy verticals and whisper-thin horizontals. Numerals mirror the same contrast and crisp detailing, reading as display-oriented forms with refined hairlines.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines and refined serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, posters, and high-end brand wordmarks. It can work for short passages or captions in well-printed contexts, but the extreme contrast and fine details make it less forgiving for dense, small-size body text.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, leaning toward classic publishing and fashion-adjacent elegance. Its sharp contrast and poised rhythm convey formality and confidence, with a slightly dramatic, high-style presence that feels curated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice with pronounced contrast and crisp, upright structure—optimized for impact and sophistication in editorial and branding contexts. Its wide proportions and delicate finishing prioritize elegance and presence over utilitarian robustness.
In text settings, the thinnest strokes and serifs become a defining visual feature, creating a lively shimmer and strong light–dark pattern across lines. The font’s wide stance and crisp detailing help headlines feel expansive, while the extreme contrast suggests careful size selection to keep hairlines from disappearing in smaller or lower-resolution use.
