This typeface is a delicate, high-fashion serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. The letterforms are generally vertical in stance, with smooth, oval bowls and long, clean stems that create a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are fine and precise rather than bracketed, and curves transition into strokes with a controlled, polished finish. In text, the narrow proportions and strong contrast produce a bright, airy texture with clear word shapes and an overall taut, editorial color.
It excels in editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated typography for book covers where a polished, premium feel is desired. It also suits luxury branding applications—logos, packaging, and invitations—especially when set with generous spacing or at larger sizes to let the fine details stay crisp.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, projecting a sense of luxury and restraint. Its sharp contrasts and refined detailing evoke fashion mastheads, art-book typography, and gallery-style sophistication rather than casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern classic serif voice: elegant, fashion-forward contrast paired with disciplined construction for readable, high-end typography. Its narrow, vertical presence suggests a focus on impactful titles and refined editorial setting without sacrificing a composed text rhythm.
The numerals follow the same elegant contrast and feel designed to harmonize with display sizes, while still reading cleanly in lines of text. Capitals feel stately and sculptural, and the lowercase maintains a measured, composed cadence that emphasizes clarity through controlled spacing and vertical emphasis.
