This typeface shows extremely strong thick–thin modulation with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered joins, giving it a crisp, airy silhouette. Serifs are fine and pointed, with several strokes ending in subtle flared wedges rather than blunt slabs, and many terminals resolve to needle-like tips. Capitals are tall and stately with generous internal counters; rounds such as O and Q are smooth and near-vertical in stress, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) come to keen points. Lowercase forms are compact and orderly with a two-storey g, a slender, slightly curved t, and small, precise dots on i and j; numerals follow the same high-contrast, fashion-oriented construction with delicate crossbars and thin entry strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as fashion headlines, magazine mastheads, branding for premium goods, and posters where its contrast and delicate detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with ample size and comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and polished, with a runway/editorial feel that reads as contemporary yet rooted in classical serif conventions. Its sharpness and high refinement suggest sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-end, editorial serif voice with dramatic contrast and precision, balancing classical proportions with sharper, more contemporary terminal treatments. Its flared stroke endings and hairline details suggest a focus on elegance and visual impact in headlines and brand-led typography.
At text sizes the hairline strokes and fine serifs create a light, sparkling texture with pronounced vertical emphasis. The design’s thin connecting strokes and pointed details reward larger settings where the contrast and detailing remain clearly visible.
