This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and confident, darker vertical strokes. Serifs are thin and pointed, with a slightly calligraphic, chiseled feel at stroke terminals that keeps forms crisp rather than rounded. Proportions are compact and vertically oriented, with a relatively low x-height and tall ascenders/descenders, producing an airy rhythm and pronounced light–dark pattern in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same refined, razor-edged construction, with open counters and carefully controlled curves.
Well suited to magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and other editorial settings where elegance and contrast are desired. It also fits book jackets, pull quotes, and refined headlines, and can work for short passages of body text when generous size and spacing preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is polished and luxe, leaning toward contemporary editorial sophistication with a classic, literary undercurrent. Its sharp detailing and dramatic contrast convey exclusivity and restraint, suggesting high-end presentation rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice through extreme stroke contrast and crisp, pointed detailing, prioritizing sophistication and visual drama. Its compact proportions and low x-height further reinforce an editorial, display-leaning texture.
In running text the thin joins and hairlines create a shimmering texture, while the darker verticals provide structure and alignment. The design emphasizes precision and grace over robustness, with particularly slender interior connections in letters like a, e, and s and finely cut serifs that heighten the sense of sharpness.
