This serif shows a sharp vertical emphasis with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine hairline serifs. Curves are drawn with clean, taut bowls and a polished, somewhat sculpted feel, while joins remain crisp rather than calligraphic. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in impression, with consistent serif treatment and controlled flare; the diagonal strokes in letters like V and W resolve into needle-like terminals. Lowercase forms are compact and orderly, with a two-storey a and g, fine entry strokes, and small, neatly finished terminals that keep the texture bright and open.
This design is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book or journal titling where a refined, high-fashion tone is desired. It also fits formal printed materials such as invitations and programs, and works best when given adequate size and spacing to preserve its delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and formal, projecting a sense of luxury and cultivated restraint. Its contrast and hairline detailing evoke fashion and literary publishing aesthetics, balancing seriousness with a light, sophisticated sparkle on the page.
The font appears intended as a modern, high-contrast serif for sophisticated display and editorial settings, prioritizing elegance, sharp detailing, and a polished page color over ruggedness or low-size economy.
In the text sample the rhythm reads smooth and even at display sizes, with strong silhouette clarity in capitals and crisp punctuation. The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender horizontals and pointed finishing strokes that reinforce the refined, editorial character.
