A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation, producing a crisp, polished texture. Serifs are fine and pointed with wedge-like terminals, and the joins stay clean and uncluttered even where strokes pinch down to hairlines. The capitals feel stately and open, while the lowercase keeps a relatively even x-height and a smooth rhythm, with two-storey forms and restrained, calligraphic stress. Numerals and punctuation follow the same delicate, high-contrast logic, giving the overall set an airy, precise presence.
It performs best in headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial settings where its contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It is also well-suited to luxury branding, packaging, and formal materials such as invitations or programs, where an elegant, high-end voice is desired.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial feel that reads as sophisticated and intentional rather than casual. Its sharp detailing and dramatic contrast suggest refinement and a sense of ceremony, suited to contexts where typography is meant to look premium and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classical serif voice: dramatic contrast, sharp finishing, and composed proportions that emphasize sophistication and clarity in display typography.
At display sizes the hairlines and pointed terminals read especially crisp, while in denser text the strong contrast becomes the defining texture. The design’s narrow hairlines and sharp serifs create a bright page color and a slightly sparkling rhythm, particularly in words with many verticals and diagonals.
