A crisp, high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and pronounced vertical stress. Hairline horizontals and serifs are extremely fine, while main stems are firm and clean, creating a bright, polished texture on the page. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with tapered joins and pointed terminals that give the forms a precise, cut-in quality. Proportions skew wide with generous spacing and open counters; the x-height is relatively low, and ascenders feel tall, producing an airy, formal rhythm in text and display sizes alike.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book covers, and refined poster work where its hairlines can be preserved. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes with ample leading, particularly when aiming for a premium, classical tone.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial flavor. Its razor-thin details and stately proportions read as sophisticated and fashion-forward, leaning toward a classic, high-end sensibility rather than casual or utilitarian moods.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classical high-contrast serif: crisp, bright, and luxurious, with wide proportions and fine detailing that emphasize elegance and hierarchy in typographic layouts.
In the sample text, the contrast and hairlines create a shimmering, delicate texture, especially in diagonals and cross-strokes. The numerals and select lowercase forms show lively, calligraphic inflections (notably in curved terminals), adding a touch of drama without becoming overtly decorative.
