This typeface is a sculpted serif with extremely thin hairlines and sharply tapering joins that create a polished, high-contrast rhythm. Stems feel slightly flared at their ends, with crisp wedge-like terminals and delicate serifs that read as cut rather than bracketed. Capitals are tall and poised with generous interior space and a calm, vertical stance, while curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and drawn with very fine connecting strokes. The lowercase shows a classic bookish construction with a two-storey a, a compact two-storey g with a pronounced ear, and narrow, elegant joins that keep counters open despite the thin hairlines.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty packaging, premium brand identities, invitations, and posters. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when given enough size and spacing to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, balancing restraint with drama through razor-thin details and confident, sculptural shapes. It evokes fashion magazines and upscale branding, feeling composed, premium, and slightly theatrical when set large.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern-luxury serif voice: crisp, high-impact shapes with minimal ornament, using flared endings and hairline serifs to maximize elegance and contrast in large-scale settings.
The design relies on delicate horizontals and hairline connections, so it visually rewards larger sizes where the fine strokes can remain distinct. Numerals follow the same high-contrast language, with sharp triangular entry/exit strokes and a refined, display-oriented finish.
