A refined serif with extreme stroke contrast, pairing thick vertical stems with delicate hairlines and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are crisp and fine, reading as modern and precise rather than soft or heavily bracketed. Curves are smooth and taut, with a slightly condensed overall rhythm and tight interior counters that emphasize a tall, sculpted silhouette. Uppercase forms feel stately and controlled, while lowercase shows a calligraphic sharpness in joins and terminals, keeping the texture lively in text.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits luxury-oriented packaging, event materials, and formal invitations that benefit from a sophisticated, high-contrast voice.
The font projects a high-fashion, editorial tone—polished, luxurious, and slightly dramatic. Its sharp contrasts and slender details evoke sophistication and formality, lending a sense of prestige and curated taste.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end serif voice rooted in classical contrast, optimized for impactful display typography with a sleek, cultivated presence.
At larger sizes the hairline details and pointed terminals read as crisp and stylish, while in smaller settings the very fine strokes may appear fragile. Numerals follow the same contrasting logic, with prominent verticals and thin connecting strokes that reinforce the formal, display-oriented character.
