This serif shows an extreme thick–thin dynamic with razor-thin hairlines, delicate bracketed serifs, and strongly weighted vertical stems. Curves are taut and clean, with a predominantly vertical stress that gives rounds (C, O, Q, e) a crisp, sculpted feel. Proportions lean narrow in many capitals with generous internal space and careful spacing, producing an airy color in text despite the bold main strokes. Lowercase forms balance compact bowls with slender joins; the g is double-storey with a distinct ear, and the y descends into a long, calligraphic tail. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with fine links and pronounced main strokes for a poised, display-ready rhythm.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, decks, and pull quotes, as well as book covers and premium brand identities. It also fits formal materials like invitations and programs, where the high contrast and elegant rhythm can take center stage.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a sense of ceremony. The sharp contrast and fine detailing create a dramatic, premium impression that reads as traditional yet contemporary in finish.
The design appears aimed at delivering a refined modern-classic serif with strong editorial presence: high contrast for glamour and hierarchy, traditional construction for familiarity, and carefully drawn details for a sophisticated finish.
In longer text, the hairline horizontals and serifs contribute a bright, sparkling texture, while the dominant verticals keep lines orderly and stately. The font’s delicate details suggest it will look best when reproduction is crisp and sizes are not too small.
