A high-contrast serif with sharp, hairline finishing and strong thick–thin modulation. Curves show a pronounced vertical stress, and many letters have crisp, tapered terminals that feel cut and polished rather than brushy. Uppercase forms are stately and wide-feeling in places, while the lowercase mixes compact bowls with fine entry/exit strokes and delicate serifs, creating a lively typographic color. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, with sculpted curves and thin joins that read as display-oriented.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other large-scale typography where its hairlines and contrast can stay crisp. It can also support premium brand systems (packaging, beauty, fragrance, hospitality) when used with ample spacing and high-quality output, while long-form small text would require careful size and printing/screen conditions.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its crisp edges and dramatic contrast evoke fashion, culture magazines, and premium branding, while the controlled rhythm keeps it feeling formal rather than playful.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern classic serif voice: high contrast, refined finishing, and a polished rhythm that elevates titles and brand statements. The emphasis is on sophistication and visual drama rather than rugged readability.
The design leans on fine details—thin crossbars, narrow hairlines, and pointed serifs—so it benefits from generous sizes and clean reproduction. The italic-like movement is minimal; instead, interest comes from contrast, verticality, and sharp finishing throughout the set.
