A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and sharply swelling main strokes that taper into subtly flared terminals. The letterforms feel tall and compact, with generous verticality and tight internal spacing, while curves are clean and smoothly modeled. Serifs are delicate and pointed rather than blocky, and many joins show a calligraphic, wedge-like modulation. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with crisp, narrow apertures, and the numerals follow the same elegant, contrasty construction.
Best suited to headlines, covers, pull quotes, and large-format editorial typography where the contrast and sharp detail can be appreciated. It works well for fashion, culture, and luxury branding applications, as well as posters and titling where a refined but attention-grabbing serif is desired.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical: refined in detail, but bold in presence. It reads as luxurious and editorial, with a couture sensibility and a slightly classical, high-style edge. The sharp hairlines and sculpted curves add a sense of precision and sophistication.
The font appears designed to deliver an elegant, high-impact serif voice by combining a narrow, vertical stance with pronounced stroke modulation and flared, sharpened endings. The emphasis is on display clarity and a sophisticated texture rather than neutral, everyday text color.
The design leans on dramatic thick–thin rhythm, so small sizes or low-contrast settings may cause hairlines and delicate joins to fade. In display use, the compact proportions and sculpted terminals create a striking, poster-like texture, especially in uppercase and in large headlines.
