This serif face is built around tall, narrow proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are assertive and largely vertical, while hairlines are extremely fine, creating a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. Serifs are sharp and delicate with a pointed, bracketless feel, and many joins terminate in tapered, knife-like details. Round letters show a clear vertical stress, and the overall drawing keeps tight spacing and a clean, controlled silhouette that reads as formal and polished.
It performs best in large sizes for headlines, magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging. The strong contrast and narrow build help it create impact in short phrases, mastheads, and title treatments where refinement and drama are desired.
The font projects an elegant, editorial tone with a sense of luxury and drama. Its sharp contrasts and refined finishing give it a poised, upscale voice suited to sophisticated messaging rather than casual text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern classic serif voice: sleek, high-contrast forms with sharp detailing that emphasize elegance and hierarchy in display settings. Its proportions and disciplined rhythm suggest it was drawn to look luxurious and authoritative in editorial layouts.
The design’s thin horizontals and hairline serifs become visually prominent features, especially in capitals and numerals, which look stately and display-oriented. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure, with smooth curves and tapered terminals that reinforce the high-contrast character.
