This typeface shows an extreme stroke-contrast structure with very thin hairlines and more substantial verticals, producing a distinctly delicate color on the page. Serifs are fine and pointed, often appearing as sharp wedges with minimal bracketing, and many terminals end in tapered, calligraphic-looking points. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow in the capitals, with ample internal space and smooth, rounded bowls; the uppercase set reads stately and clean rather than ornate. The lowercase maintains a traditional text-serif skeleton with open counters and a relatively restrained x-height, while select forms (notably the two-storey g and the flowing, descending q) add a subtle, formal flourish. Numerals echo the same hairline/vertical contrast, with elegant curves and thin joins that keep the overall texture light and precise.
It is well suited to display and editorial settings where its delicate detailing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book jackets, and upscale brand identities. It can also work for short passages of text in print-oriented contexts, particularly when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, with a sense of luxury that comes from the razor-thin details and controlled contrast. It feels poised and editorial, leaning toward high-end, cultured, and slightly dramatic rather than warm or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: refined, fashion-oriented, and highly controlled, with sharp hairline serifs and clean, open forms aimed at elegant typography in premium contexts.
In running text the type creates a bright, airy rhythm with pronounced thick–thin transitions; the finest strokes and sharp serifs contribute to a crisp, high-definition look. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) are especially smooth and spacious, and the italic-like tapering in some terminals adds refinement without introducing a slanted style.
