A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, sculpted thick strokes. Serifs are delicate and sharp, with wedge-like entry strokes and crisp, tapered terminals that give the outlines a chiseled, calligraphic feel. The capitals are stately and slightly narrow in impression, while the lowercase maintains a steady text rhythm with compact counters and precise joins. Curves and diagonals (notably in S, Q, v/w, and numerals) emphasize tension and finesse, producing a polished, editorial texture.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, covers, pull quotes, and elegant titling. It also fits luxury-oriented identity work—beauty, jewelry, fragrance, hospitality—where sharp refinement and contrast communicate premium positioning. It can work in short text passages when ample size and spacing preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is sophisticated and aspirational, evoking fashion publishing and luxury branding. Its dramatic contrast and fine detailing feel formal and curated, with a cool, high-end presence that reads as timeless rather than rustic or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial take on a classic high-contrast serif: maximizing elegance and visual drama through hairline serifs, taut curves, and precise terminals while maintaining a disciplined, readable text structure.
At larger sizes the hairline details and needle-like serifs become a defining feature, creating sparkle and a crisp silhouette. In dense settings the strong thick–thin modulation draws attention to stroke transitions, giving paragraphs a lively, upscale texture.
