This typeface is a high-fashion, high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a crisp, shimmering texture in text. Serifs are fine and sharply tapered, with subtle bracketing and pointed wedge-like terminals that keep joins clean despite the extreme contrast. Curves show a clear calligraphic stress (notably in C, G, O, and the numerals), and counters are generous, helping the design stay open at display sizes. Proportions skew elegant and slightly condensed in feel, with tall capitals and tidy lowercase forms; the italic is not shown, and the overall stance remains upright.
Best suited to display and large text settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty campaigns, luxury brand identities, and refined poster work. It can also work for book covers and section openers where its contrast and sharp detailing can be rendered cleanly; for small sizes or low-resolution environments, the fine hairlines may require careful handling.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a dramatic editorial sheen typical of contemporary magazine typography. It feels formal and poised rather than friendly, emphasizing sophistication, precision, and contrast-driven elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical serif elegance—prioritizing striking contrast, precise finishing, and a refined editorial voice for premium visual communication.
In running sample text the letterforms create a rhythmic pattern of strong verticals punctuated by delicate connecting strokes, giving paragraphs a distinctly upscale, curated look. Numerals share the same sharp contrast and refined finishing, pairing well with headlines and pull quotes where the hairlines can be preserved.
