A sharply contrasted serif with pronounced vertical stress and very fine hairlines. The serifs are crisp and unbracketed, with long, needle-like terminals on many strokes and a clean, polished contour throughout. Round letters (O, C, Q) read as tall, slightly oval forms, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are narrow and tensioned, emphasizing the high-contrast rhythm. Lowercase shows a compact, text-capable structure with single-storey a and g, a narrow, pointed r, and a tall, slender t; ascenders are prominent and add a graceful vertical cadence. Numerals follow the same refined logic, mixing sturdy stems with delicate connecting strokes and curved details.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and sophisticated editorial layouts where its hairline contrast can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, and formal invitations where a polished, high-fashion voice is desired. In longer text, it can work when set with adequate size and comfortable leading to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its hairline details and sharp finishing give it a dramatic, high-end feel that reads as contemporary-classic rather than rustic or casual. The texture in paragraph settings stays airy and refined, with a strong vertical pulse.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-contrast serif voice: crisp, glamorous, and detail-forward. Its narrow, vertical rhythm and sharp serifs prioritize elegance and a premium impression, while the straightforward upright construction keeps it usable for structured layouts.
At larger sizes the thin strokes and acute terminals become a defining feature, while in smaller sizes the design’s delicacy suggests careful attention to spacing and setting conditions. The ampersand is lively and calligraphic in spirit, matching the font’s emphasis on elegant contrast and crisp construction.
