This typeface is a high-contrast serif with extremely thin hairlines and commanding vertical stress. Stems and diagonals are crisp and straight, while many stroke endings open into subtle flared terminals rather than blunt slab forms. Serifs are delicate and tapered, giving the letterforms an airy, polished texture, and curves (notably in C/O/S) are smooth with tight, sharp transitions into hairlines. Overall proportions lean tall and elegant, with a restrained x-height and a lively rhythm driven by dramatic thick–thin modulation and slightly varied character widths across the set.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine titles, fashion campaigns, luxury branding, and large-scale headlines where its fine hairlines and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or elegant packaging text when set with generous size and spacing.
The tone is refined and theatrical, evoking contemporary fashion and upscale editorial design. Its sharp contrast and graceful finishing details suggest sophistication, exclusivity, and a curated, gallery-like sensibility.
The design appears intended as a modern display serif that blends classic high-contrast construction with flared, sculpted terminals for extra elegance. It prioritizes visual drama and a premium feel over utilitarian neutrality, aiming to stand out in editorial and brand-led contexts.
The numerals match the display intent, with pronounced contrast and stylized curves; some figures and capitals (like Q and R) add distinctive, calligraphic inflections. In text settings the thin horizontals and hairlines create a light, shimmering color, especially at larger sizes where the detailing remains prominent.
