This typeface presents a delicate, high-contrast serif construction with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharp, with tapered, triangular entry and exit points that give many strokes a chiseled, engraved feel. Proportions are compact and streamlined, while round letters keep a clean, near-oval geometry; joins and terminals stay crisp rather than soft. The italic is not shown; the overall roman rhythm is controlled and airy, with generous interior counters that help the thin hairlines read in larger settings.
Best suited to large-size typography where the hairlines can remain intact: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury and hospitality branding, invitations, and cover typography. It can also support short editorial decks or pull quotes when printed or rendered with sufficient size and contrast.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, projecting a polished, fashion-forward character with a distinctly editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing feel ceremonial and sophisticated rather than casual or rustic.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice: streamlined proportions paired with incisive hairlines and crisp terminals to create a premium, display-friendly reading experience.
Capitals feel stately and display-oriented, with especially dramatic forms in letters like Q and R where thin finishing strokes and tapered terminals become prominent stylistic cues. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, appearing elegant and slightly calligraphic in their thin connecting strokes.
