A refined serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Stems are strongly vertical and the curves transition into thin joins, creating a polished, high-contrast rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. The design uses tight internal apertures and compact proportions, with pointed terminals and delicate, knife-like finishing details that stay consistent from letters to numerals. Overall spacing reads controlled and tailored, with a clean, print-like sharpness in the stroke endings and bracketless serif treatment.
Best suited to large sizes where the fine hairlines can remain clear—such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, titling, and elegant collateral like invitations or packaging. It can work for short editorial pull quotes or subheads, but the delicate strokes suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction where hairlines may soften.
The tone is sophisticated and upscale, with a poised, runway/editorial feel. Its stark contrast and delicate hairlines convey luxury and formality, leaning toward a contemporary classic rather than a warm or casual voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice through dramatic contrast, sharp finishing, and disciplined vertical structure, prioritizing elegance and impact in display and editorial contexts.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs become a defining feature, giving the face a bright, shimmering texture. The italic is not shown, and the roman maintains an especially vertical, composed stance with pronounced contrast in rounds like O/Q and strong sculpting in capitals.
