A sharply contrasted serif with vertical stress, combining thick main strokes with extremely fine hairlines and delicate, straight serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, terminals are clean and controlled, and joins stay crisp rather than calligraphic. Proportions read relatively compact with a tall, poised uppercase and a lowercase that keeps counters open while maintaining a disciplined, high-contrast rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same display-minded logic, with thin horizontals and prominent thick verticals.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, posters, and elegant invitations where fine hairlines can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes, but longer passages may require generous sizing and spacing to keep the delicate strokes from visually receding.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a cool, authoritative elegance. Its dramatic contrast and fine detail evoke a fashion/editorial sensibility—more about presence and sophistication than warmth. The texture on the page feels airy yet assertive, giving headlines a confident, premium voice.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast serif for sophisticated display typography—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a polished editorial look through hairline detailing and a disciplined, vertical-stress construction.
In text blocks, the strong thick–thin pattern creates a lively sparkle, especially around letters like E/F/T and in curved forms such as O/Q and the two-storey a. Thin strokes and hairline serifs become a defining feature at larger sizes, where the refined detailing is most visible.
