A crisp serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and razor-fine hairlines paired with sturdy verticals. Serifs are sharp and tapered with subtle flaring at stroke terminals, giving the letterforms a carved, dressy finish. The capitals are tall and poised with generous inner counters, while the lowercase shows a compact, controlled rhythm with narrow joins and delicate terminals. Curves (C, O, S, g) are smooth and taut, and diagonals (V, W, y) come to precise points, reinforcing the font’s polished, high-precision texture.
This font is best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, lookbooks, posters, and pull quotes. It can also work for short text passages in high-quality print or large on-screen sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs can remain clear.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a strong association to high-end editorial design. The high-contrast silhouette reads as glamorous and formal, yet clean enough to feel contemporary when used with ample whitespace.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale, modern-classic serif voice by combining very high contrast with precise, tapered serif work and controlled proportions. Its detailing prioritizes elegance and dramatic typographic presence over utilitarian neutrality.
The numerals echo the same contrast-driven construction, with thin cross-strokes and sharp finishing details that will look best at display sizes. In text settings, the pronounced contrast creates a bright page color and a distinctly “fashion magazine” cadence, especially in mixed-case lines.
