This typeface is a high-contrast serif with a pronounced vertical rhythm and razor-thin hairlines against sturdy main stems. Serifs are fine and elegant, with minimal bracketing and crisp, clean joins. Curves are taut and controlled, showing a strong stress typical of modern display serifs; round letters keep a narrow, polished ovality, while diagonals and apexes (as in A, V, W, and Y) come to sharp, tapered points. Spacing and fit feel deliberately composed for larger sizes, where the thin strokes and small details remain visible and give the letters a sculpted, glossy finish.
Best suited to display typography: magazine covers, editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and high-end advertising. It can also work for short pull quotes or refined titles where its hairlines and contrast have enough size and print/display quality to stay clear.
The overall tone is elevated and sophisticated, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward character. Its stark stroke contrast and delicate detailing create a sense of drama and exclusivity, reading as poised, cultured, and premium rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design intention appears to be a modern, high-fashion serif that prioritizes elegance and visual impact through strong contrast, vertical stress, and precise, minimal serifs. It’s built to communicate prestige and refinement in headline-driven compositions.
The numerals mirror the letterforms’ contrast and refinement, with slender internal joins and crisp terminals that keep them visually consistent in display settings. The lowercase shows a classic, bookish structure but with modern sharpness in terminals and hairlines, giving mixed-case text an elegant, contemporary sheen.
