This typeface pairs slim hairlines with strongly swelling verticals, producing a crisp, high-fashion rhythm across both text and display sizes. Serifs are delicate and often wedge-like, with subtly flared stroke endings that broaden out of the stems rather than forming blunt slabs. Proportions are compact and vertically oriented, with a lively mix of narrow and broader letterforms that creates a varied, magazine-like texture. Curves are clean and taut (notably in C, G, O, and S), while diagonals and apexes (A, V, W, Y) come to sharp, precise points. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with elegant, fine entry strokes and confident main stems.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a refined, high-contrast serif can add authority and style, especially for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and luxury-oriented layouts. It also fits branding and packaging that need a polished, premium voice, and can work for short-form body copy where a crisp, elegant texture is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and contemporary-classic, balancing traditional serif cues with a sleek, fashion-forward sharpness. Its contrast and precision feel luxurious and curated, lending a sense of formality without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern editorial serif with pronounced vertical energy and flared finishing details, offering a premium, fashion-leaning voice that stays disciplined enough for structured layouts.
In running text, the spacing reads measured and calm, with open counters helping keep the texture from getting too dark despite the strong vertical emphasis. The design’s flared terminals and tapered hairlines give it a calligraphic undercurrent while remaining cleanly constructed and consistent across the set.
