A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty verticals, giving the letterforms a polished, calligraphic stress. Serifs are fine and sharp with subtly sculpted, flared terminals that widen into the ends of strokes rather than forming blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with generous counters and a clean, stately rhythm; capitals feel tall and poised while the lowercase stays compact and orderly. Numerals and punctuation match the same glossy contrast and precise finishing, supporting an overall look that reads best at display and larger text sizes.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and large-scale typography where the hairlines and sharp serifs can remain intact. It also fits premium branding applications—beauty, fashion, hospitality, and packaging—along with elegant invitations or editorial pull quotes that benefit from a sophisticated, high-contrast voice.
The font projects an upscale, editorial tone—elegant, composed, and slightly dramatic thanks to the extreme contrast. It evokes fashion and cultural publishing aesthetics, where crisp detail and a sense of luxury are prioritized over ruggedness or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, luxury-leaning take on a classic serif model, emphasizing dramatic contrast, precise finishing, and subtly flared stroke endings to create a distinctive, couture-like presence in display settings.
Diagonal strokes (notably in V, W, X, and Y) taper to very fine points, and rounded letters show delicate joining points that emphasize the contrast. The overall spacing appears measured and consistent, with a refined texture in running text that stays smooth but distinctly ‘high-fashion’ in character.
