A tall, airy roman with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Letterforms are slim and economical, with long ascenders and descenders and generous white space inside counters. Terminals are sharply tapered and clean, while curves transition into stems with crisp joins that keep the silhouette polished. The overall rhythm is measured and vertical, with a slightly condensed feel and strong contrast that reads best at larger sizes.
Well suited for magazine typography, luxury branding, and refined display work where contrast and vertical elegance are an asset. It performs especially well in large headlines, pull quotes, and packaging where crisp outlines and spacious counters can shine. For body copy, it will be most comfortable in larger point sizes with good printing or high-resolution screens.
The tone is poised and upscale, balancing modern restraint with a classic, editorial sophistication. Its delicate hairlines and tapered details give it a fashion-forward, gallery-like presence rather than a utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, fashion/editorial voice through tall proportions, sharp tapering, and dramatic stroke contrast. It aims for a clean, contemporary finish while preserving a classic sense of formality and polish.
In text, the strong contrast and fine horizontals make spacing and line rhythm feel refined, but the thinnest strokes can visually recede at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output. Numerals and capitals maintain the same tall proportions, reinforcing a consistent, elegant verticality across headings and display settings.
