This typeface is a hairline serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering terminals. Serifs are small and sharply cut, with subtle flaring where strokes meet terminals, giving joins a gently swelling, chiseled feel rather than blunt endings. The overall drawing is narrow and vertical with open counters, a clean baseline rhythm, and a restrained, modernized oldstyle influence in the lowercase (notably the single-storey a and the flowing g). Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate curves and fine entry/exit strokes that keep the figures light and refined.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display typography where its contrast and hairline construction can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging, fashion and beauty applications, and refined book or magazine covers; for body text it will generally perform better at larger sizes and in high-quality reproduction.
The tone is polished and high-end, evoking luxury print, fashion titling, and cultured editorial design. Its airy hairlines and sculpted details convey sophistication and restraint, with a slightly dramatic edge from the sharp contrast and long, elegant curves.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, premium serif voice: sharply contrasted and delicately drawn, with subtle flared finishing that adds sculptural sophistication without heavy ornament. It prioritizes elegance and editorial impact through narrow proportions, controlled verticality, and finely tuned stroke transitions.
At display sizes the fine detailing and tapered terminals read as precise and premium, while at smaller sizes the extremely thin hairlines may require generous size, leading, or higher-contrast printing environments to maintain clarity. The lowercase shows a calligraphic undercurrent—especially in curved letters—tempered by a controlled, upright posture.
