A high-contrast serif with extremely thin hairlines and sharply defined thick strokes, creating a crisp, formal texture. Serifs are fine and tapered, often showing slight bracketing and a subtly calligraphic flare rather than blocky slabs. Uppercase forms feel spacious and stately with generous internal counters, while lowercase maintains a conventional, readable structure with a single-storey g and compact, clean joins. Curves are smooth and round (notably in O/C/G), and diagonals (V/W/Y) have sharp, bright intersections that emphasize the delicate stroke modulation.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent text where the dramatic contrast can be appreciated—such as magazine design, brand wordmarks, packaging, and formal invitations. It can also work for book covers and editorial pull quotes where a classic, elevated serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, evoking fashion mastheads, high-end print, and classical book typography. Its strong contrast and slender detailing project sophistication and ceremony, with an airy, premium feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast serif tradition: elegant, composed letterforms with dramatic stroke modulation and fine finishing details for premium editorial and branding contexts.
At display sizes the hairlines read as precise and luxurious, while the strong thick–thin rhythm makes spacing and line breaks feel deliberate and composed. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with elegant curves and thin terminals that visually align with the capitals.
