A high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and thick, sculpted vertical strokes, producing a crisp, glittering texture. Serifs are fine and largely unbracketed with sharp terminals, and counters are relatively open for the style. Capitals feel wide and poised with a strong vertical axis, while lowercase shows a restrained, bookish rhythm and a two-storey a and g. Numerals echo the same tension between sturdy stems and razor-thin connecting strokes, giving figures a refined, display-forward presence.
This font is well suited to magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, and brand identities where a refined, high-contrast serif is expected. It can also serve premium packaging and formal invitations, especially when paired with ample whitespace and careful typographic hierarchy.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a couture-like elegance typical of high-fashion and premium editorial typography. Its sharp detail and strong contrast read as dramatic and ceremonial, adding gravitas and a sense of luxury to headlines and short passages.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on the classic high-contrast serif: wide, stately capitals; crisp hairlines; and a controlled reading rhythm for elegant, attention-grabbing typography.
The design’s finest strokes are extremely thin, so the face reads best when reproduction is clean and sizes are not too small. Spacing appears measured and even in the sample text, helping the lively contrast remain controlled rather than fussy.
