A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The design leans on vertical stress and tall, elegant proportions, with narrow joins and delicate connections that create a bright, airy texture in text. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and terminals tend toward sharp, tapered finishes with minimal bracketing. Numerals and capitals share the same formal, display-oriented rhythm, with precise spacing and a distinctly polished silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and other display uses where the contrast and delicate detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for luxury branding and event collateral when set with ample tracking and comfortable leading.
The overall tone is formal and luxurious, evoking fashion publishing and upscale editorial typography. Its sharp hairlines and stately letterforms feel poised and sophisticated, with a cool, modern sense of restraint rather than warmth or rusticity.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-fashion serif: dramatic contrast, clean verticality, and meticulous detailing for premium display typography and editorial impact.
At larger sizes the hairlines and fine serifs read as intentionally razor-thin, emphasizing elegance and contrast. In dense settings the thin strokes can visually recede, so the face tends to reward generous size, careful color control, and print or high-resolution rendering.
