This typeface is a high-contrast serif with a distinctly vertical axis and crisp, hairline serifs set against sturdy vertical stems. Curves transition quickly from thick to thin, producing a sharp, polished rhythm; joinery is mostly clean and minimally bracketed, with pointed-looking terminals on several forms. Proportions are fairly classical with moderate capitals and a middle-of-the-road x-height, while widths vary per letter (notably broad rounds and a wide, symmetrical W), creating an elegant, slightly theatrical texture in lines of text. Numerals follow the same logic, with strong main strokes and fine finishing details that read as refined rather than rugged.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and hairline serifs can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging, and can work in editorial or book contexts when set at comfortable sizes with enough leading to keep the fine strokes from visually clashing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, evoking fashion, literature, and high-end print. Its dramatic contrast and taut detailing give it a confident, formal voice that feels premium and timeless, with a hint of display flair when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-fashion take on classical contrasted serifs, prioritizing elegance, verticality, and crisp detail. It aims to produce strong hierarchy and a luxurious feel through pronounced thick–thin transitions and clean, minimally bracketed serifs.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp serifs become a defining feature, emphasizing sparkle and precision; in dense settings the contrast can create a lively, shimmering pattern. The capitals feel stately and well-suited to headline use, while the lowercase maintains a traditional bookish structure that can still carry extended text when spacing and size are chosen carefully.
