This typeface is a refined serif with razor-thin hairlines and weight concentrated in the verticals, producing a distinctly sculpted rhythm. Serifs are small and sharp, with a slightly flared feel where strokes terminate, and many joins resolve into tapered points rather than blunt endings. Uppercase forms are stately and narrowish in impression with crisp apexes (notably in A, V, W, and Y) and clean, high-contrast bowls. The lowercase keeps a traditional structure with a two-storey a and g, a delicate ear on g, and slender, controlled terminals; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, and brand identities where high contrast and crisp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury packaging, event collateral, and short-form editorial typography, especially at medium to large sizes where the hairlines stay clear.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a cinematic, editorial kind of drama created by the extreme hairlines and poised curves. It reads as premium and fashion-forward while still grounded in classical bookish proportions, making it feel simultaneously timeless and modern.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-end, editorial serif voice with pronounced stroke modulation and sharp finishing details. It aims to balance classical proportions with a more fashion-led, dramatic surface, using flared terminals and tapered joins to create a distinctive, sculptural presence.
Spacing in the sample text suggests a refined, display-leaning texture: fine hairlines create bright counters and a sparkling page color, while the heavier stems keep letterforms stable at larger sizes. Diagonals and curved strokes tend to taper to needle-like points, emphasizing precision and elegance.
