This typeface is a high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strongly weighted verticals, giving it a crisp, sculpted rhythm. Serifs are finely tapered and often flare as they meet the stems, with subtle bracketing that keeps joins sharp rather than soft. Proportions feel classical with a moderate x-height, narrow apertures, and smooth, round bowls (notably in O/Q) that emphasize a polished, formal texture. The lowercase shows crisp terminals and a neat, controlled modulation, while capitals carry a stately presence with clean diagonals and careful stroke transitions.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and poster titles where the contrast can shine. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or section headings when set with adequate size and line spacing to preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone is sophisticated and luxurious, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a distinctly formal, high-end finish. Its pronounced contrast and clean detailing convey confidence and ceremony rather than warmth, reading as poised and authoritative in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast serif principles, pairing dramatic stroke modulation with precise, flared finishing for an upscale catalog and editorial voice.
At text sizes the fine hairlines and delicate joins become a key visual feature, producing a sparkling page color that benefits from generous spacing and high-quality reproduction. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with elegant curves and thin connections that match the letterforms’ refined cadence.
