This typeface is a high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and strong, tapering verticals that often flare subtly into the stroke endings. Serifs are fine and pointed rather than blocky, and many joins resolve in crisp wedge-like transitions, giving letters a carved, polished feel. Capitals are stately with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and generous interior space, while the lowercase shows compact, controlled curves with a two-storey a and g and a narrow, editorial rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with delicate curves and thin connection points that emphasize a refined, display-oriented texture.
This font is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine covers, and sophisticated brand identities where contrast and elegance are desirable. It performs best in larger settings such as posters, title treatments, and formal invitations, where its hairlines and flared details have room to read cleanly.
The overall tone is upscale and composed, projecting a sense of luxury and tradition. Its strong contrast and razor-thin details lend it a fashion and magazine sensibility, while the classical serif construction keeps it formal and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice by combining extreme contrast with precise, tapered terminals and refined proportions. Its construction favors dramatic typographic presence and a polished surface texture over utilitarian neutrality.
In the text sample, the thin strokes and terminals create a sparkling, high-end texture at larger sizes, while the darkest verticals provide a steady, column-like cadence. The font’s sharp detailing and tapered stroke behavior make it especially sensitive to size and reproduction conditions, where fine hairlines can become the defining visual signature.
