A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced vertical stress, pairing delicate joining strokes with strong, clean main stems. Serifs are fine and crisp with subtle bracketing, giving a polished, contemporary-leaning finish rather than a blunt or slabbed feel. Capitals are tall and poised with generous internal whitespace; curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and tightly controlled, and the Q features a distinct, calligraphic tail. Lowercase maintains a measured rhythm with a two-storey g, a compact, tidy e, and a slender f and t that keep texture open at display sizes.
Best suited for display and headline work where its hairline detailing and contrast can be appreciated—magazine mastheads, book and film titles, high-end branding, and elegant invitations. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes and good printing/screen conditions, where its refined texture stays crisp.
The overall tone is cultivated and premium, with a fashion/editorial sophistication that reads as formal and composed. Its crisp contrast and precise detailing suggest luxury packaging and magazine typography, while still feeling classical in temperament.
Designed to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice rooted in classical proportions, emphasizing contrast, sharp finishing, and controlled curves for sophisticated display typography and premium editorial applications.
Figures appear lining and proportional, matching the cap height and contributing to a stately, editorial color. The font’s fine details and hairlines create a bright, airy page color in larger settings and emphasize sharpness and delicacy over sturdiness.
