A high-contrast serif with sharp, finely tapered hairlines and commanding vertical stems. Serifs are delicate and precise, with a clean, contemporary finish and minimal bracketing. The design favors narrow proportions and a tight, vertical rhythm, while curves show pronounced thick–thin transitions and crisp terminals. In text, the strong contrast creates a lively sparkle, and the numerals and capitals read as sculptural, display-forward forms.
Best suited for magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury branding, and other display contexts where contrast and elegance are assets. It can work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with generous size, leading, and print-friendly reproduction to protect the finest hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and couture-leaning, with a dramatic black-and-white presence typical of upscale editorial typography. It feels refined and confident, balancing sophistication with a slightly theatrical sharpness that draws attention to headings and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end serif voice with striking contrast and a tall, composed silhouette. It prioritizes visual impact and refinement—especially in capitals and numerals—aimed at editorial and brand-driven typography where sophistication and drama are desired.
In the sample text, the thin strokes become notably delicate at smaller sizes and in tightly set lines, emphasizing the font’s contrast-driven character. The ampersand and italic forms contribute a more expressive, high-fashion flavor, complementing the otherwise controlled, upright posture.
