This serif face combines tall, sharp capitals with delicate hairline serifs and strongly modulated strokes. Curves show a pronounced vertical stress, with fine transitions into thick stems, giving round letters a sculpted, high-fashion profile. Serifs are small and clean, often lightly bracketed, and terminals tend toward crisp, tapered finishes rather than blunt cuts. The lowercase is compact and rhythmic with narrow joins and slender cross-strokes, producing a polished texture that stays orderly even at larger display sizes.
It performs especially well for magazine-style typography, headlines, and subheads where its contrast and crisp serifs can shine. The refined construction also suits brand identities, beauty and luxury packaging, and formal stationery such as invitations or certificates.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, projecting a poised, premium character with a hint of drama from its thin hairlines and strong thick–thin contrast. It reads as formal and cultivated, well suited to settings where refinement and visual sophistication are the goal.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif voice: clean, controlled, and highly contrasted, with an emphasis on elegance and editorial authority in display and larger text settings.
Spacing appears balanced and relatively open for such delicate detailing, helping the high-contrast forms avoid looking cramped in text. The numerals share the same sharp modulation and refined finishing, matching the letterforms’ stately, print-oriented feel.
