The letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, blade-like detailing. Strokes often taper and flare into pointed or wedge-shaped endings rather than blunt slabs, creating a sculpted rhythm across text. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters stay relatively tight, and the overall texture feels dark and elegant in display settings, with fine hairlines adding delicacy.
It suits magazine and newspaper-style headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and upscale packaging where a polished serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and fine details make it especially effective at larger sizes for titles, pull quotes, and short bursts of text, while smaller sizes may benefit from careful spacing and sufficient resolution.
This typeface conveys a poised, editorial tone with a refined sense of drama. The sharp contrast and tapered terminals give it a slightly fashion-forward, high-end feel while still reading as classical and composed.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif conventions with more sharpened, tapered finishing to create a distinctive, dressy texture. Its contrast and narrow proportions suggest an emphasis on impactful typography where detail and silhouette matter as much as readability.
The numerals and capitals share the same sharp, tapered finishing, producing a cohesive, elegant set for titling. The lowercase maintains a traditional rhythm but retains the same pointed terminal character, giving paragraphs a distinctive, slightly calligraphic sparkle.
