A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and weight concentrated in vertical stems, producing a glossy, light-catching rhythm. Serifs are sharp and tapering with a subtly flared feel at stroke endings, while joins stay crisp and clean. Capitals are tall and stately with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and pointed apexes in forms like A and V. The lowercase shows a compact, controlled structure with a two-storey a, ball terminals on letters like j, and a single-storey g with a pronounced ear, keeping the texture lively without becoming calligraphic.
Best suited to display sizes where the contrast and fine details can read clearly—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, poster titling, and refined packaging. It can also work for short editorial standfirsts or pull quotes when ample size and comfortable spacing are available.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, leaning toward runway/editorial sophistication rather than casual readability. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast add a sense of drama and precision, giving text a confident, cultivated voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice: sharp, refined letterforms with dramatic contrast and flared, tapering endings that elevate titles and brand messages while maintaining a classic typographic backbone.
The figures follow the same contrast logic, with thin cross-strokes and stronger verticals; the 4 is notably open and angular while 8 and 9 emphasize smooth, sculpted bowls. In running text the face creates a distinct striped vertical cadence, with crisp punctuation and strong word shapes in bold headline settings.
