This typeface is a sharp, high-fashion serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing. Stems and main strokes are clean and vertical, while joins and terminals show subtle flare and soft bracketing that keeps the contrast from feeling mechanical. Curves are smooth and taut, with pointed teardrop-like ends on several letters and a slightly calligraphic rhythm in diagonals and bowls. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with long, delicate extenders, and the figures mix strong vertical stress with fine, tapered details that reward generous sizing.
Best suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, and luxury brand identities where contrast and detail are an asset. It also works well for packaging, beauty/fashion collateral, and high-end invitations, particularly in larger sizes or high-resolution output where the hairline strokes can be preserved.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, projecting a runway/editorial polish rather than a utilitarian text voice. Its sharp contrast and refined details feel premium, contemporary-classic, and slightly dramatic—well suited to sophisticated branding and high-end publishing.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary display serif that blends classical proportions with fashion-led sharpness: dramatic contrast, refined terminals, and a polished rhythm aimed at premium, image-forward typography.
In text, the thin hairlines and tapered details create a sparkling texture, especially in combinations with many curves and diagonals. The uppercase reads stately and display-oriented, while the lowercase adds an airy, modern elegance; spacing appears designed for comfortable reading at larger sizes where the fine strokes can remain intact.
