This typeface is a high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and thick, sculpted vertical stems. Serifs are crisp and finely tapered, with a largely classical construction and a distinctly vertical axis, producing a bright, glossy rhythm across lines. Uppercase forms are tall and stately with generous internal spaces; the lowercase is compact and controlled, with a two-storey a and g, narrow joins, and sharply finished terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate top strokes and clean curves, giving figures a refined, display-leaning presence.
It is well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and high-end event materials where large-scale typography can showcase the fine hairlines and crisp serifs. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes or section openers when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, evoking couture/editorial typography and a sense of prestige. Its sharp contrast and clean poise feel formal and curated, favoring sophistication over warmth or casualness.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice with maximum contrast and clean, modern sharpness. The intent is to provide an authoritative, premium display texture that reads as timeless and carefully finished.
The design’s thin hairlines and pointed details create a sparkling texture at larger sizes, while the strong verticals maintain clarity and structure. Descenders are noticeable and add elegance to word shapes, and the italic is not shown in the provided images.
