A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a distinctly “high-waist” rhythm typical of modern display serifs. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with clean terminals and a polished, print-like crispness. Curves are smooth and controlled, with generous bowls and open counters; round forms (C, O, Q) read wide and luminous against the thick–thin modulation. Lowercase shows a traditional, text-rooted construction with a two-storey a and g, while ascenders and capitals feel tall and commanding. Numerals share the same contrast and finish, with delicate joins and hairline details that emphasize an elegant silhouette.
Best suited for large sizes where the hairlines can remain visible: headlines, deck copy, magazine titles, brand marks, and upscale packaging. It also works well for pull quotes and short editorial phrases where its contrast and sculpted serifs can provide strong hierarchy.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical—cool, chic, and premium—evoking fashion mastheads, art magazines, and luxury branding. Its strong contrast and needle-fine details create a sense of drama and precision, leaning more toward statement-making than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice: maximal contrast, refined detailing, and striking caps that project luxury and editorial authority while retaining familiar, readable lowercase structures for short text settings.
Spacing and shapes feel intentionally varied across glyphs: wide rounds and narrow vertical letters create a lively typographic color. The italic-like stress in some curves and the sharp, calligraphic entry/exit hairlines add a couture, engraved quality, especially noticeable in the capital Q and the diagonals of V/W/X.
