A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and very thin hairlines, producing a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp, with minimal bracketing and clean, tapered joins where strokes meet. The letterforms feel classical in construction, with smooth curves, narrow hairline connections, and a disciplined upright posture; proportions are moderately tall with a controlled x-height and varied character widths across the set. Numerals and capitals show pronounced thick–thin modulation and pointed terminals that keep the texture bright and airy at text sizes while becoming dramatic in display.
Best suited to fashion and culture magazines, premium branding, and large-scale headlines where the contrast and hairline detailing can shine. It also works well for book covers and refined pull quotes, especially when paired with a simpler sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, balancing traditional bookish authority with a modern, high-end sheen. Its stark contrast and razor details give it a dramatic, confident presence that reads as premium and editorial rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast serif: elegant, legible in display settings, and visually striking through pronounced thick–thin modulation and precise, sharp serif detailing.
In running text, the bright hairlines and compact joins create an elegant sparkle, while the heavier verticals anchor the line strongly. The ampersand and round letters emphasize the vertical stress, and the pointed details in letters like S, a, and g add a slightly stylized edge without breaking the classical feel.
