This typeface is a sharply contrasted serif with a predominantly vertical axis, pairing thick, confident stems with extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are crisp and minimally bracketed, with long, needle-like terminals and occasional tapered “flag” strokes that add a calligraphic edge. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and spacing feels measured and formal, giving lines of text a polished, high-end rhythm.
Best suited to large sizes where the fine detailing can shine—magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, posters, and book or album covers. It can work for short editorial passages in controlled print or high-resolution digital settings, but it is most compelling when used as a display serif.
The overall tone is sophisticated and theatrical: poised, luxe, and editorial rather than casual. The dramatic contrast and razor-fine details communicate refinement and exclusivity, with a subtle fashion-magazine attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial take on high-contrast serif tradition: crisp, vertical, and meticulously drawn for impactful titles and brand-forward typography.
Uppercase forms read statuesque and display-forward, while the lowercase introduces more personality through tapered strokes and delicately finished terminals. Numerals echo the same high-contrast construction, giving them a glossy, headline-ready presence.
