A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis, crisp main stems, and very fine hairlines. Serifs are thin and sharply defined with minimal bracketing, giving strokes a clean, cut-paper precision rather than a softened transition. Counters are generous and oval in rounded forms, while joins and terminals stay tight and controlled; the overall rhythm feels measured and stately. Capitals read tall and formal, and the figures follow the same contrast logic with clear, sculpted forms.
Best suited to headlines, large subheads, and short blocks of text where its contrast and fine details can remain clear. It works particularly well for magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, event posters, and cover typography where a refined, high-contrast serif presence is desired.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone associated with luxury editorial design and traditional print refinement. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions feel formal and deliberate, producing a sense of authority and sophistication rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic high-fashion editorial voice through pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline detailing. It prioritizes a striking, polished silhouette and typographic glamour, creating strong hierarchy and a sense of prestige in display settings.
In text, the thin horizontals and delicate serifs create a bright, sparkling texture that benefits from adequate size and spacing. Round letters like O/Q show pronounced thick–thin modeling, and the numerals match the display-like contrast, reinforcing a cohesive, premium look across letters and figures.
