This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sharp, hairline joins and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Many strokes finish in small wedge-like, slightly flared endings that read as crisp serifs rather than bracketed slabs, giving the letters a carved, tapered feel. Proportions are classically inclined: capitals are tall and stately, with narrow inner counters and elegant, restrained curves, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and lively rhythm. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) show controlled swelling into thick strokes and quick transitions into fine hairlines, producing a polished, editorial texture at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and brand marks where its contrast and tapered endings can be appreciated. It works particularly well for fashion, beauty, luxury, and cultural/editorial applications, and is most impactful at medium to large sizes where hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, balancing elegance with a confident, high-fashion edge. Its sharp contrast and tapered details convey sophistication and a slightly theatrical presence, lending a premium, curated feel to headlines and short texts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing sharp refinement, tapered terminals, and a luxurious page color. Its forms prioritize display elegance and distinctive rhythm over utilitarian neutrality.
In text settings the letterforms create strong vertical emphasis and bright, shimmering contrast; fine hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, mixing sturdy stems with delicate hairlines for a cohesive, upscale appearance.
