This serif features extremely pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline horizontals and serifs contrasted against sturdy vertical stems. Letterforms are tall and stately with a clean, polished contour and minimal bracketed transitions, giving a crisp, contemporary take on classic high-contrast construction. Serifs are fine and precise; terminals and joins are sharply controlled, and the overall rhythm is deliberate rather than textural. Numerals and capitals feel display-forward, with narrow inner counters and prominent vertical emphasis.
Best suited to large-scale typography where the fine hairlines can be appreciated—magazine headlines, cover lines, luxury brand identities, posters, and upscale packaging. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when ample size and comfortable spacing are available.
The tone is refined and theatrical, projecting an editorial sophistication associated with fashion, luxury, and premium branding. Its sharp contrast and delicate detailing convey exclusivity and poise, with a cool, polished demeanor rather than warmth or rusticity.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-fashion serif voice: authoritative capitals, elegant lowercase, and dramatic contrast optimized for striking display typography and premium editorial settings.
The very thin hairlines and serifs create a sparkling, high-definition look at larger sizes, while the strong vertical stress keeps words visually anchored. Curves are smooth and taut, and many shapes show a distinctly formal, carefully balanced silhouette.
