A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered joins. Stems often broaden into subtly flared endings, while hairlines stay extremely fine, giving the letterforms a chiseled, sculptural feel. Proportions are tall and vertical, with a relatively large x-height and crisp, controlled curves; spacing reads steady in text, while individual glyphs show lively width variation and assertive serifs.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where its fine hairlines and dramatic contrast can print or render cleanly—magazine headlines, luxury branding, posters, and title typography. It can work for short text passages at comfortable sizes, especially in high-quality output, but will be most impactful in larger sizes where the delicate details remain intact.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, balancing classical bookish cues with a contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness. Its thin hairlines and flared stroke endings convey luxury and precision, creating a confident, editorial presence.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern high-fashion serif voice: classical proportions and serifs paired with very fine hairlines and flared, sculpted stroke endings for maximum sophistication and contrast-driven impact.
Uppercase forms feel stately and monumental, with strong vertical stress and clean, tapering serifs. Lowercase remains clear at display sizes, with a lively rhythm from the contrast and the slightly calligraphic shaping; numerals match the same high-contrast, refined construction.
