A delicate serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation, sharp hairline serifs, and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Capitals are stately and open, with broad, smooth curves in C, G, O, and Q, while the diagonals in V, W, X, and Y resolve into needle-like terminals. The lowercase shows compact, sculpted forms with fine entry/exit strokes, a two-storey a, and a looping g with a prominent ear; round letters maintain clean, taut bowls and tight joins. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and display-oriented, with slender stems and crisp finishing details that emphasize precision over robustness.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and luxury branding where high contrast and fine serifs can be showcased. It also fits invitations, packaging, and hero typography in web or print, especially when used at moderate to large sizes with comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, leaning toward editorial sophistication and runway-style elegance. Its fine detailing and disciplined geometry suggest formality and polish, with a slightly dramatic, high-fashion presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, couture-leaning serif voice: precise, polished, and highly stylized, prioritizing elegance and contrast for impactful display typography while remaining readable for short text settings.
Spacing and letterfit read as airy, letting the hairlines breathe, while the strong verticals carry most of the visual weight. The contrast can make very small sizes feel fragile, but at larger sizes the crisp terminals and smooth curves become a defining feature.
