A high-contrast serif with vertical stress, combining thick, confident stems with extremely fine hairlines and delicate serifs. Curves are taut and polished, with pointed joins and crisp terminals that keep counters clean and open. The lowercase shows a moderately sized x-height and a classic, bookish rhythm, while the capitals and figures read as more display-oriented due to the pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-thin cross-strokes.
Well suited for editorial settings such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where contrast can be a feature rather than a liability. It also fits luxury branding and packaging, invitations, and poster work that benefits from sharp, high-fashion typography. For extended reading, it will generally perform best when given comfortable size and spacing so the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and poised, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and refined detailing convey luxury and formality, giving text a composed, high-end voice even at modest sizes.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif letterforms: crisp, confident, and visually striking. Its intent reads as display-first elegance, providing a premium voice for titles and brand expressions while retaining enough structure to set short passages cleanly.
The design emphasizes clean geometry and restraint: serifs appear fine and minimally bracketed, and round letters maintain smooth, controlled bowls without softness. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, presenting a stately, polished look that pairs well with large-size typography.
