A high-contrast serif with taut, sculpted letterforms and crisp hairline finishing. Stems swell subtly into flared, bracketed endings, while thin horizontals and joins sharpen the overall rhythm. Capitals are stately and vertically oriented with pronounced thick–thin modulation; round letters show elegant tension and slightly tapered curves. The lowercase keeps a readable, traditional structure, with compact bowls and clean, pointed terminals that maintain a polished, print-like texture in text.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, luxury branding, beauty and fashion campaigns, and premium packaging where high contrast can shine. It can also work for short editorial decks and pull quotes, especially when set with generous spacing and sizes that preserve the delicate hairlines.
The font projects an editorial, high-fashion tone—confident, upscale, and slightly dramatic. Its razor-thin details and sculpted transitions evoke refinement and ceremony, lending a premium voice to headlines and short passages where elegance is the goal.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice: traditional proportions and readability paired with heightened contrast and flared finishing to create a more glamorous, display-forward presence.
In larger sizes the fine hairlines and sharp joins read as intentional sparkle and precision, while in dense settings the contrast creates a bold pattern with bright internal whitespace. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with distinctive curves and tapered strokes that feel consistent with the caps.
