A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines, sharp wedge-like terminals, and sculpted bracketed serifs. Curves are taut and clean, with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a slightly calligraphic stress that gives bowls and joins a carved, glossy feel. Capitals are stately and relatively wide, with generous interior counters; the lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with a moderate x-height, long ascenders, and delicate entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with slender diagonals and crisp finishing details.
Well suited to magazine-style layouts, fashion and beauty branding, and other premium applications where contrast and elegance are desirable. It performs especially well for headlines, large quotations, and display typography, and can also support short passages when set with comfortable size and leading.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, suggesting premium editorial typography and a sense of runway elegance. Its sharp hairlines and tapered terminals read as poised and formal rather than casual, lending a confident, high-end voice to headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography—prioritizing sharpness, elegance, and editorial authority while maintaining familiar, conventional proportions for readability in display and short-form text settings.
At text sizes the hairlines and thin joins become a prominent visual feature, so spacing and line breaks will strongly influence the perceived color on the page. The ampersand and curved letters show a restrained flourish, adding sophistication without becoming overly ornate.
