A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp hairline serifs, and a predominantly vertical stress. Uppercase forms are stately and relatively narrow, with sharp terminals and finely tapered joins; curves in C/G/O show clean, controlled transitions from thick stems to hairline arcs. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact counters and delicate entry/exit strokes, while ascenders and descenders are slim and elongated. Figures follow the same contrasty logic, mixing sturdy verticals with razor-thin horizontals and curves for a polished, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to magazine and editorial design, brand identities in luxury or beauty contexts, and high-impact headlines where contrast can be appreciated. It also works for book titling, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, especially when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a fashion-forward, editorial sensibility with a traditional bookish backbone. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing feel formal and premium, lending an air of authority and ceremony to headlines and display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on classic serif letterforms, emphasizing dramatic contrast, sharp finishing, and a composed vertical rhythm. It aims to create a refined display texture that signals prestige while remaining conventional enough to pair with a wide range of supporting text faces.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as intentionally incisive and sophisticated, while in denser settings the contrast creates a lively sparkle and strong rhythm. The font’s fine serifs and thin cross-strokes emphasize precision and a slightly dramatic presence, especially in rounded letters and in the distinctive, sweeping tail on Q.
