A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline unbracketed serifs and a strong vertical axis. Curves are smooth and controlled, with thin joins and pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives letters a polished, sculpted look. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places, with tall capitals and compact, neatly contained lowercase forms. The overall rhythm is crisp and measured, favoring clean outlines and sharp terminals over calligraphic softness.
Well suited to magazine headlines, section openers, book-jacket titling, and high-end brand systems where elegance and contrast are desirable. It can work for short paragraphs or pull quotes when set with generous size, leading, and thoughtful tracking, especially in print-oriented layouts.
The typeface conveys an editorial, luxury tone—poised, formal, and image-conscious. Its dramatic contrast and fine detailing suggest sophistication and restraint, with a distinctly modern-classic presence suited to premium branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion serif voice with crisp modern refinement—prioritizing drama, precision, and a premium finish over ruggedness or utilitarian readability.
Large sizes show the font at its best, where the hairline serifs and thin strokes remain clear and the contrast reads as intentional elegance. In running text, spacing appears relatively tight and the light hairlines can become visually fragile, so careful size and reproduction conditions help maintain clarity.
