This typeface is a crisp, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered wedge serifs. Stems are vertical and smooth, with rounded joins and tightly controlled curves that create a polished, sculptural rhythm. Capitals are tall and stately with generous internal space, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, bookish proportion and a clean, uncluttered texture in running lines. Numerals follow the same refined construction, pairing sturdy verticals with delicate linking strokes for a formal, print-minded feel.
Well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, and brand identities that want a premium, high-end impression. It also works nicely for invitations, certificates, and other formal materials where elegance and sharp typographic contrast are central to the look.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and fine details create a sense of sophistication and ceremony, lending text a premium, fashion-forward voice while still reading as conventional and composed.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern, refined reading of classic high-contrast serif construction—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a polished editorial presence over ruggedness or utilitarian body-text neutrality.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and small finishing details, so it appears most confident at display and headline sizes where the thin strokes remain visible and the contrast can shine. Uppercase forms feel especially commanding, while the lowercase keeps a calm, classic cadence suitable for short passages.
