This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and fuller, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are fine and tapered, with a subtly flared, chiseled feel at some terminals rather than blunt slab endings. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled (notably in C, G, O, S), while many joins and diagonals resolve into sharp, pointed moments, giving the forms a cut, engraved quality. Proportions feel slightly condensed in some capitals and more open in round letters, producing a lively, uneven rhythm typical of display-oriented serif drawing; lowercase forms show a two-storey a, a compact e, and a pointed, elegant t with a light crossbar.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and branding where its contrast and fine finishing can be appreciated. It can also work for book covers and other display settings that benefit from a classic, upscale serif voice, especially when set with generous spacing and comfortable line height.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward sensibility. Its razor-thin details and sharp terminals suggest sophistication and formality, while the sculpted, flared endings add a handcrafted, classical flavor rather than a purely modern, mechanical one.
The design appears intended to deliver a premium, high-fashion serif look that combines classical letterform foundations with sharply refined details and subtle flaring at terminals. It prioritizes visual drama and typographic polish, aiming for strong presence in display typography while maintaining a disciplined, editorial structure.
At larger sizes the contrast and hairline serifs read as a key feature, creating sparkle across lines of text. In the numerals, the figures are similarly refined and high-contrast, with curved forms (2, 3, 5, 8, 9) emphasizing the font’s sharp transitions and delicate finishing strokes.
