This typeface shows a crisp high-contrast construction with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered joins. Serifs are fine and slightly flared, with smooth bracketed transitions that give stems a subtle calligraphic swell rather than a blunt finish. Capitals are tall and narrow with generous internal counters, while lowercase forms keep a controlled, moderately sized x-height and a clean, vertical axis. Curves are drawn with tight, polished tension (notably in C, S, and e), and the overall rhythm feels sleek and orderly in text.
Best suited to large sizes where the thin hairlines and refined serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, luxury branding, and striking poster typography. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when given ample size and spacing to preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, combining quiet luxury with a hint of drama from the contrast and razor-thin details. It reads as contemporary editorial—poised, stylish, and confident—without looking overly ornate or historical.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward serif voice with heightened contrast and tapered, flared finishing that enhances elegance and visual snap. It prioritizes sophistication and display clarity, creating a distinctive, premium texture in titles and curated editorial settings.
Distinctive details include sharp apexes on A and V/W, a concise crossbar on A, and an italic-like liveliness in some lowercase terminals (especially a, e, and y) despite the upright stance. Numerals are similarly high-contrast, with delicate joins and elegant curves that align visually with the letterforms.
