This serif typeface features a pronounced thick–thin rhythm with hairline serifs and crisp, sharply tapered terminals. Letterforms are drawn with a strong vertical emphasis and relatively compact set widths, creating a clean, high-fashion texture in lines of text. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are generous, and joins are precise; diagonals (as in V, W, and Y) feel taut and carefully balanced. Numerals follow the same refined construction, with thin connecting strokes and sculpted curves that read clearly at display sizes.
Well suited to magazine typography, branding, and headline settings where crisp contrast and refined detail are assets. It can also perform effectively for book titles, pull quotes, and formal printed materials when set with comfortable spacing and sizes that preserve the thin strokes.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with an editorial sophistication that feels at home in luxury and cultural contexts. Its high-contrast detailing conveys formality and poise, lending headlines a sense of prestige and deliberateness rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif for editorial and display use, prioritizing elegance, clarity of silhouette, and a polished page presence.
Serifs are consistently fine and bracketed minimally, while many terminals end in pointed, wedge-like cuts that add sparkle to the texture. In running text, the strong contrast and delicate hairlines create a bright rhythm with noticeable emphasis on vertical strokes, making it especially striking at larger sizes.
