This typeface features pronounced thick–thin modulation with razor-fine hairlines and crisp, largely unbracketed serifs. Capitals are tall and poised with sharp apexes and tapered terminals, while round letters show smooth, oval stress and tight, controlled curves. Lowercase maintains a measured, bookish rhythm with delicate joins, small counters, and a slightly calligraphic finishing on characters like a, g, y, and f. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, pairing sturdy vertical stems with fine connecting strokes and pointed terminals for a polished, display-forward texture.
Well suited to headlines, magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and other situations where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry a premium tone. It also works for short editorial passages or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, where the hairlines remain clear and the letterforms can breathe.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-oriented sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and fine detailing convey exclusivity and precision, creating a crisp, high-end voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with sharp finishing and a controlled, elegant rhythm. Its forms prioritize visual drama and sophistication for display and editorial settings while keeping conventional proportions that support readable mixed-case text at larger sizes.
The design relies on very thin horizontals and terminals, so visual color can shift noticeably with size and reproduction method; it reads especially clean when given generous spacing and high-quality rendering. The italic is not shown, and the presentation emphasizes titling and mixed-case text where the sharp serifs and high-contrast rhythm are most apparent.
