A high-contrast serif with crisp, largely unbracketed hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms lean on vertical stress and smooth, sculpted curves, with sharp joins and tapered stroke endings that create a polished, cut-on-stone feel. Uppercase proportions read stately and compact, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with distinctive, calligraphic-like terminals and occasional ball or teardrop finishing. Numerals match the display intent, with bold main strokes, fine hairlines, and elegant curvature that keeps spacing lively rather than strictly mechanical.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, cover lines, brand marks, and premium packaging where its fine serifs and contrast can render cleanly. It can also work for short bursts of text (subheads, captions, invitations) when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-drama, evoking fashion publishing, premium packaging, and classic editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and refined details give it a formal, upscale voice that feels confident and designed to be noticed.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary-classic display serif with strong contrast and sharp finishing details, prioritizing elegance and visual impact. Its consistent vertical rhythm and polished curves suggest a deliberate focus on editorial and branding scenarios where sophistication is the primary goal.
At larger sizes the hairline elements and razor serifs become a defining feature, creating sparkle and a rhythmic texture across words. The design’s distinctive terminals and contrast make it more characterful than a neutral text serif, emphasizing headline presence over quiet invisibility.
