This serif typeface shows a sharply contrasted construction with slender hairlines and strong vertical stems. Serifs are fine and pointed, often ending in delicate wedge-like terminals, with minimal bracketing for a crisp, cut look. Curves are smooth and taut, with a distinctly vertical stress in rounded letters, while capitals feel tall and stately with ample interior space. Lowercase forms are relatively open and legible at text sizes, with a two-storey “g,” a single-storey “a,” and narrow, neatly tapered joins that reinforce the high-contrast rhythm across words.
It performs best in fashion-oriented and editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section titling where the crisp contrast can be showcased. It also suits premium branding and packaging systems that need a refined serif voice and a strong sense of hierarchy.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, combining restraint with a sense of drama from the extreme thick–thin transitions. It reads as contemporary-luxurious and editorial, suited to settings where elegance and sophistication are prioritized.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-contrast serif with couture-like sharpness: elegant proportions, clean vertical emphasis, and delicate finishing details that elevate typographic texture in display and editorial applications.
In running text the strong contrast creates a lively sparkle, especially in combinations of verticals and round forms. The numerals follow the same refined logic, with thin entry/exit strokes and prominent main stems, giving figures a formal, display-friendly character.
