A refined serif with extreme stroke contrast and a pronounced vertical axis, pairing sturdy vertical stems with whisper-thin hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, giving terminals a crisp, cut-in quality. Proportions lean tall and statuesque, with generous counters and ample inner white space that keeps the color airy. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall rhythm reads disciplined and measured, especially in capitals and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other large-size editorial settings where its hairlines and sharp serifs can stay intact. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fashion layouts, invitations, and upscale packaging where a crisp, high-contrast serif is desired. For longer passages, it will be most effective when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve its light details.
The typeface conveys polish and restraint, with a high-fashion, gallery-catalog sensibility. Its fine details and clean geometry suggest formality and exclusivity, producing a cool, premium tone rather than a warm or rustic one.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif for display-led typography. It prioritizes elegance, vertical poise, and fine-detail rendering to create a premium, editorial voice.
In the text sample, the thin connecting strokes and hairlines become a defining texture, creating a sparkling page color at larger sizes. The numeral set matches the same contrast and refinement, and the overall impression favors display use where the delicate details can remain prominent.
