A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharp, tapered serifs paired to fuller verticals, producing a distinctly dressy rhythm. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while joins and terminals feel chiseled and precise, giving letters a polished, printlike sheen. Proportions lean classical with a relatively small x-height and prominent capitals; the lowercase shows flowing, slightly calligraphic modulation in forms like a, e, g, and y. Spacing reads even and composed in text, with narrow hairline details that emphasize clarity at larger sizes.
Well-suited to magazine and editorial typography, fashion and beauty layouts, and premium branding where elegance and sharp contrast are assets. It performs especially well for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and refined titling, and can be used for short passages of display text when size and reproduction quality preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a couture/editorial sensibility and a hint of old-world sophistication. Its dramatic stroke contrast and fine finishing convey prestige, formality, and a curated, high-end feel rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and fashion serifs, emphasizing glamour, sharp detail, and a confident typographic voice for display-led applications.
Numerals and capitals share the same refined contrast and crisp finishing, giving headings a stately presence. The thin horizontals and delicate serifs suggest it will look most confident when given room to breathe and printed or rendered at sizes where the hairlines can stay intact.
