A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and crisp, tapered terminals. Vertical stems feel slender and controlled, while curves are drawn with smooth, even tension and generous internal space. Serifs are understated and often resolve into fine, flared stroke endings rather than blunt brackets, giving the letters a sharpened, chiseled finish. Uppercase forms are stately and open, and the lowercase keeps a measured rhythm with compact joins, a two-storey g, and cleanly cut apertures. Figures follow the same refined contrast, with thin entry strokes and elegant, lightly modeled curves.
Well suited for magazine headlines, deck type, and pull quotes where high contrast can shine. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fashion packaging, and invitations or event materials that benefit from an elegant, formal voice. Use at moderate-to-large sizes to preserve the fine hairlines and tapered details.
The overall tone is polished and luxe, with a quiet confidence suited to premium, style-forward communication. Its hairline details and sharp finishing strokes convey sophistication and a contemporary editorial sensibility rather than warmth or utilitarian neutrality.
The type appears designed to deliver an upscale, editorial look by combining classic serif proportions with pronounced contrast and finely flared, sharp terminals. Its intention is to create a striking, sophisticated texture that feels modern and premium in display and refined short-form text.
The design favors visual finesse over sturdiness: thin strokes and terminals read best when given enough size and good reproduction conditions. Letterforms show a consistent, fashion-led detailing in diagonals and terminals, producing a bright, high-end texture in text and a dramatic presence in display.
