This typeface is a refined serif with dramatic stroke modulation: razor-thin hairlines transition to firm vertical stems, producing a crisp, polished rhythm. Serifs are delicate and sharp, often wedge-like, with clean terminals and a controlled, upright stance. Uppercase proportions feel stately and high-contrast, while the lowercase shows a compact, text-ready structure with a single-storey “g” and a gently hooked “f,” plus narrow joins and smooth curves. Numerals follow the same sculpted contrast, reading as display-leaning figures with elegant, thin finishing strokes.
Well suited to magazine covers, section heads, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where elegance and contrast are assets. It also fits premium branding and packaging applications, especially when used at display sizes or with generous tracking to emphasize its hairline detailing.
The overall tone is luxe and composed, evoking editorial typography, high-end packaging, and fashion-oriented branding. Its sharp hairlines and poised construction communicate sophistication and formality, with a modern, curated feel rather than a rustic or handwritten mood.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a classic, fashion-forward serif voice with pronounced contrast and crisp finishing strokes, balancing display glamour with enough structure to function in short text passages.
The design relies on fine details—particularly hairlines and small serifs—which makes spacing and rendering feel airy and precise at larger sizes. In paragraphs it reads as an upscale text face, but the strongest visual impact comes from headlines where the contrast and terminals can fully show.
