A refined serif with razor-thin hairlines and robust verticals, producing a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are delicate and often wedge-like, with subtle bracketing and occasional flared endings that give strokes a gently widened finish. Round forms (C, O, Q) are smooth and controlled, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) feel sharp and precise, with pointed terminals. Lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure with a two-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and compact bowls; punctuation and figures match the same elegant contrast and tight detailing.
Well-suited to magazine titling, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging where large sizes can showcase the hairlines and sharp terminals. It also works for posters and elegant pull quotes, especially in layouts that benefit from a strong vertical cadence and refined contrast.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, leaning toward contemporary luxury and editorial polish. The extreme contrast and fine terminals add drama and a sense of exclusivity, making the design feel high-end and purposeful rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-fashion serif voice with pronounced contrast and meticulously sharp finishing, balancing classical proportions with a modern, polished edge for display-led typography.
The letterforms favor vertical emphasis and crisp joins, with details that read best when given room—thin strokes and tiny serifs can visually soften at small sizes or in low-resolution contexts. Figures appear lining and stylistically aligned with the capitals, contributing to a formal, display-forward texture.
