A sharply contrasted serif with tall proportions, prominent vertical stems, and extremely thin hairlines. Serifs are fine and crisp, often unbracketed, giving joins and terminals a clean, cut appearance. Curves show a controlled vertical stress, with tight apertures and precise internal counters that read best at moderate to large sizes. The lowercase has a relatively compact feel with narrow bowls and delicate entry/exit strokes, while capitals are stately and structured; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with slender connections and open, elegant figures.
Well-suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It can work in short editorial passages at comfortable sizes with sufficient print or screen resolution, and pairs naturally with restrained, minimal layouts.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, evoking classic high-end publishing and fashion branding. Its hairline detailing and disciplined geometry create a poised, premium voice that feels deliberate and curated rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion contrast serif look with crisp detail and a refined vertical rhythm. It prioritizes sophistication and visual drama through hairline finesse and strong thick–thin modulation.
Spacing appears moderately open for such fine hairlines, helping maintain clarity in continuous text, though the thinnest strokes remain visually fragile in smaller settings or low-contrast reproduction. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent, polished roman texture with pronounced thick–thin rhythm.
