This serif displays very fine hairlines set against thick, vertical main strokes, creating a sharp, high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are small and tapered, with flared terminals that widen subtly as strokes end, giving the letterforms a sculpted, engraved feel rather than a blunt slab finish. Proportions are tall and streamlined with tight sidebearings, and the curves are drawn with controlled, slightly pointed joins in places (notably in S- and C-like forms). The lowercase has a relatively modest x-height and long, elegant ascenders/descenders; counters are open but not spacious, supporting a compact, vertical texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and other display settings where the fine hairlines and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes, titling, and premium branding or packaging, especially where a sophisticated, high-contrast serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, with a runway/editorial sensibility. Its crisp contrast and delicate detailing suggest luxury and formality, while the restrained, upright construction keeps it composed and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif look with flared finishing strokes for added refinement. Its narrow, tall proportions and crisp contrast prioritize elegance and hierarchy, aiming for impact in titles and carefully set editorial layouts.
In continuous text the font creates a strong vertical cadence and clear figure/ground contrast, with punctuation and numerals matching the same thin–thick logic. The ampersand is notably decorative and the numerals carry the same refined, display-oriented contrast, which can emphasize hierarchy when used at larger sizes.
