A high-contrast serif with tall proportions and a clearly upright stance, pairing strong vertical stems with hairline horizontals and delicate serifs. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with crisp joins and sharp apexes in letters like A and V, while curves show a pronounced vertical stress. Counters are generous and clean, and the overall rhythm alternates between thick stems and thin connecting strokes for a distinctly polished, display-leaning texture. Numerals echo the same contrast and refinement, with elegant curves and tapered detailing.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where its contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated—such as magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and large-format posters. It can also work for short pull quotes or lead-in text when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size to preserve the hairline details.
The font projects an editorial, fashion-forward tone—confident and upscale, with a dramatic sheen created by its razor-thin details against bold stems. It feels formal and curated rather than casual, evoking magazine typography, luxury branding, and sophisticated headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice with striking contrast and crisp finishing, optimized for high-impact typography in premium and editorial contexts. Its controlled modulation and refined terminals suggest an emphasis on elegance, clarity, and visual drama in display-led applications.
In setting, the thin hairlines and tight inner details become especially prominent, giving text a crisp sparkle at larger sizes. Rounded forms like O, Q, and g show smooth, controlled modulation, and the lowercase includes classic, bookish shapes with a strong typographic presence that reads as traditional yet style-conscious.
