A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered serifs paired to round, weighty main strokes. The forms feel precisely drawn and vertical, with smooth, generous curves in bowls and a clean, polished stroke modulation. Capitals are tall and stately with ample internal space, while the lowercase shows compact, controlled joins and refined terminals that keep rhythm crisp in text. Numerals match the same chiseled contrast and sculpted curves, reading as display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine titling, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and delicate serifs can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging and invitations when a formal, fashion-forward tone is desired. For long passages, it works most naturally in spacious, well-set editorial contexts rather than dense UI text.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and fine details project sophistication and formality, suggesting premium branding and high-end publishing.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif for display and editorial typography. It emphasizes elegance, sharpness, and refined curvature to create strong hierarchy and a premium feel.
In larger sizes the fine hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature, giving the face a sparkling, engraved quality. The design favors elegance and shape clarity over ruggedness, so it visually rewards clean reproduction and comfortable spacing.
