This serif typeface features extremely sharp thick–thin modulation with hairline serifs and crisp terminals. The capitals are tall and stately with generous interior space (notably in C, O, and Q), while stems remain vertical and precise, creating a polished, print-like rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and clean, with a double-storey a, a looped g, and fine details on joins and entry strokes that stay delicate at display sizes. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and feel tailored for typography-led layouts rather than utilitarian UI settings.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where contrast and elegance are assets. It also fits premium branding applications—logos, beauty and fashion collateral, invitations, and packaging—where refined detail and a high-end editorial feel are desired.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a contemporary editorial sophistication with a strong nod to classic high-fashion serif styling. Its sharp contrast and fine finishing convey exclusivity, clarity, and a curated, premium sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-oriented serif voice with dramatic contrast and meticulously sharp detailing, prioritizing sophistication and impact in display and editorial contexts.
Spacing appears relatively open, helping the thin hairlines breathe, while the strong vertical stress and narrow hairlines can make very small sizes or low-resolution uses feel fragile. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a consistent upright voice across text.
