A delicate serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline details. Stems are smooth and vertical, with subtle flaring as they transition into sharp wedge-like terminals and fine serifs. The capitals feel stately and high-waisted, while the lowercase maintains a measured x-height with narrow apertures and clean, calligraphic joins. Curves are taut and polished, and the overall rhythm reads as controlled and formal, with punctuation and numerals matching the same high-contrast, razor-edged logic.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, pull quotes, and branding where its high-contrast forms can breathe. It works particularly well for luxury and fashion contexts, as well as refined packaging and poster typography that benefits from sharp, elegant letterforms.
The tone is luxurious and composed, evoking high-end editorial typography and classical bookish refinement. Its sharp contrasts and poised silhouettes convey sophistication and a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classical serif letterforms, emphasizing dramatic contrast, precision, and flared finishing for visual sophistication in display and editorial use.
At larger sizes the hairlines and flared stroke endings become a defining feature, producing a sparkling texture in text. In dense settings the combination of fine serifs and tight interior spaces can feel more delicate than robust, reinforcing its display-leaning character.
