A tall, tightly proportioned serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. The design pairs sturdy vertical stems with extremely fine hairlines and sharply defined, unbracketed serifs, producing a crisp, polished silhouette. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow counters and compact sidebearings that create a dense, columnar rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals share the same poised, upright stance, with an overall emphasis on height and clean, precise detailing.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and large-scale editorial settings where its fine hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also works well for luxury-oriented branding, packaging, invitations, and poster typography that benefits from a tall, elegant voice.
The font conveys a formal, luxe tone associated with fashion and high-end editorial typography. Its sharp contrasts and streamlined width feel composed and cultivated, lending an air of sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern classic high-contrast serif look: streamlined, space-conscious letterforms with precise, hairline detailing for an upscale editorial and branding palette. It prioritizes sophistication and typographic drama through contrast and verticality.
In running text the tight fit and hairline joins create a shimmering texture, especially around round letters and diagonal joins, while the strong verticals keep lines disciplined and structured. The narrow proportions make it space-efficient for headlines, but the delicate strokes give it a distinctly premium, display-leaning character.
