This serif shows an emphatic thick–thin rhythm with hairline serifs and fine joining strokes, giving a crisp, polished silhouette. Capitals are tall and stately with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and clean, planar bowls in letters like B, D, and O. The lowercase balances narrow stems with swelling curves, producing a lively but controlled texture in words; counters remain open, while terminals often taper to delicate points. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with very fine horizontals and diagonals for a cohesive, display-leaning color on the page.
It is well suited to magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and other premium contexts where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry authority. It excels in headlines, pull quotes, posters, and elegant packaging, especially when set with generous spacing and ample size to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a formal, high-end finish. Its sharp details and glossy contrast communicate sophistication more than warmth, lending an upscale, curated feel to headlines and brand moments.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast book-and-fashion serif, prioritizing dramatic stroke modulation and sharp finishing for impact. It’s built to signal prestige and clarity in display settings while retaining conventional letterforms for familiar readability.
At text sizes the hairlines and thin serifs read as intentionally delicate, while at larger sizes the fine details become a key part of the character. The rhythm is distinctly vertical, with many letters emphasizing straight stems against broad, sculpted curves.
