This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sharp, hairline terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The overall color is crisp and bright, with very fine horizontals and strong vertical stems that create a distinctly vertical rhythm. Serifs are thin and precise, generally unbracketed, giving forms a clean, cut-paper finish rather than a calligraphic softness. Proportions skew toward tall capitals and relatively compact lowercase, with smooth, rounded bowls (C, G, O) contrasted by needle-like joins and terminals; numerals echo the same dramatic contrast and elegant tapering.
It is best suited to large sizes where its hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, cover typography, and high-end brand marks. It can also work for short editorial passages and captions when printed or rendered at comfortable sizes with ample resolution.
The tone is polished and luxurious, carrying the poised formality of classic publishing and fashion typography. Its dramatic contrast and razor-thin details give it a curated, high-end feel that reads as confident and sophisticated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of the classic high-contrast serif: maximum elegance through vertical stress, dramatic modulation, and finely engineered serifs. Its letterforms prioritize sophistication and visual impact, aiming for premium editorial presence and refined display performance.
In text, the fine hairlines and tight, crisp serifs create a sparkling texture and a strong baseline presence. The italics are not shown; the roman style relies on contrast and tapering to deliver expression, with especially striking diagonals and joins in letters like K, V, W, and y.
