A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and an overall compact, vertically oriented build. Stems are slender with sharp, hairline finishing details, and many strokes taper or subtly swell into flared endings, creating a crisp, carved feel. Counters are relatively narrow and the fit is tight, giving text a compressed rhythm; rounded letters show a noticeably vertical stress. The uppercase reads stately and structured, while the lowercase is similarly condensed with clean joins and delicately finished terminals, maintaining a consistent, high-fashion cadence across the set.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and pull quotes where its contrast and compact width can create impact. It can work for short passages at comfortable sizes, but the hairline details and tight fit visually favor larger, well-spaced editorial typography.
The typeface conveys a poised, high-end tone—confident, polished, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp contrast and narrow proportions suggest modern luxury and editorial sophistication, lending a sense of intensity and precision rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, premium serif voice by combining a compressed silhouette with high contrast and flared, razor-sharp finishing. The goal seems to be maximum elegance and presence in display typography while keeping a disciplined, upright structure.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and narrow set create striking word shapes and prominent verticals, while the hairline details add sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, with thin diagonals and tapered joins that match the overall rhythm.
