A tall, tightly set serif with pronounced verticality and strong thick–thin modulation. Stems are dominant and straight, while hairline cross-strokes and fine bracketed serifs add a crisp, shimmering texture. Curves are controlled and drawn with a clear vertical stress, producing narrow counters and a compact rhythm. Uppercase forms read stately and clean; the lowercase keeps a restrained, text-oriented structure with slim joins and small apertures, maintaining consistent elegance at both display and paragraph sizes.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and high-end packaging where a sharp, polished voice is desired. It also works for short editorial passages and pull quotes when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is sophisticated and formal, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its high-contrast construction and narrow stance create a dramatic, couture-like feel that suggests luxury, culture, and careful typographic craft rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and condensed proportions, optimized for elegance and hierarchy. Its controlled curves, vertical emphasis, and delicate finishing details suggest a focus on refined display typography that can also extend into carefully set editorial text.
The numerals and capitals share the same refined contrast and narrow footprint, supporting strong hierarchy in headings. In running text, the slim letterforms and hairline details create a light, airy color that can feel crisp and premium, especially where sharp reproduction is available.
