A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered serifs. The design emphasizes vertical strokes and tight, clean joins, with hairline horizontals and terminals that sharpen to pointed or wedge-like ends. Round letters are smooth and controlled, while the overall rhythm alternates between bold stems and delicate connecting strokes, creating a distinctly polished, display-forward texture. Numerals and capitals follow the same contrasty logic, with sculpted curves and sharp transitions that read best at larger sizes.
This font is well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty packaging, luxury branding, posters, and title treatments where sharp contrast and refined detail are an advantage. It works especially well when given generous size and clean reproduction conditions to preserve its hairlines and crisp terminals.
The tone is luxurious and poised, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a distinctly classical polish. Its dramatic contrast and razor-fine detailing add formality and sophistication, lending headlines a sense of prestige and high-end restraint rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classical serif structure: dramatic contrast, vertical emphasis, and precise finishing for impact in display typography. Its controlled proportions and consistent detailing suggest a focus on sophisticated branding and editorial voice rather than utilitarian body text.
Extremes of contrast and fine serifs make the letterforms feel precise and airy, and they can appear delicate in small sizes or on low-resolution output. Spacing appears measured and relatively tight in text, reinforcing a sleek, composed headline color.
