This serif typeface features pronounced thick–thin modulation with razor-thin hairlines and strong vertical stems. Serifs are fine and largely bracketed, giving the letterforms a sculpted, high-end feel while maintaining clear, conventional proportions. The capitals show crisp triangular apexes (notably in A, V, W, Y) and smooth, rounded bowls (B, D, O, Q), while the lowercase combines sturdy verticals with delicate entry strokes and tapered joins. Numerals are similarly contrasted, with curving figures that end in small ball or teardrop terminals and fine, blade-like serifs.
This font is well suited to large-size settings such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, and sophisticated posters where its contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads, pull quotes, and branding moments that benefit from a refined, classic serif voice.
Overall, the font conveys a polished, couture-leaning sophistication with a distinctly editorial rhythm. Its sharp contrast and precise detailing read as formal and luxurious, while the rounded terminals add a subtle softness that keeps it from feeling brittle.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast text-and-display serif that prioritizes elegance and typographic drama while keeping familiar, readable letter skeletons. Its details suggest a focus on premium publishing and brand-forward applications where a crisp, luxurious tone is desired.
In text, the face creates a lively black-and-white texture, with thin horizontals and hairlines that visually recede against dominant verticals. The italic is not shown, and the sample emphasizes a display-forward color and strong punctuation presence (colon, exclamation, ampersand) that matches the serif detailing.
