A high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and pronounced, sculpted thick–thin transitions. The letterforms are built on a vertical axis with narrow joins and crisp, tapered terminals, while serifs appear fine and neatly bracketed rather than blocky. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in presence, with generous counters and smooth curves in C/G/O/Q. Lowercase shows a traditional text structure with a two-storey a and g, slender stems, and a relatively moderate x-height; spacing reads open but disciplined, producing a clean, rhythmic line in paragraph settings. Numerals match the refined contrast and feature sharp top serifs and delicate curves, keeping an elegant, editorial texture.
Well-suited to magazine work, fashion and beauty headlines, and other editorial layouts where contrast and elegance are assets. It also fits premium branding and packaging, invitations, and short-form typographic statements, especially at display sizes where the fine details and curves can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a runway/editorial sophistication driven by the sharp contrast and finely finished details. It conveys confidence and formality without feeling heavy, leaning toward a classic, premium look that reads as modern-luxe in display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif foundation with a heightened, contemporary contrast for upscale editorial and brand communication. Its consistent vertical modeling and refined terminals suggest a focus on elegance, hierarchy, and a distinctive headline voice while remaining composed in running text.
In longer text, the hairline strokes and tight joins create a bright, shimmering texture that favors good reproduction and adequate size. Curved letters (S, C, G) and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) emphasize the cut, blade-like modeling, while the lowercase maintains a composed, bookish cadence rather than overtly decorative quirks.
