This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with delicate hairlines and a clearly vertical stress. Serifs are crisp and refined, reading as mostly unbracketed with tapered, wedge-like terminals that give the outlines a chiseled, high-end finish. Capitals feel tall and stately with compact internal counters, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and strong rhythm, producing dense, high-impact word shapes. Curves (notably in C, G, O/Q, and the bowls of b/d/p/q) are smoothly sculpted, and diagonals (V, W, X, y) sharpen to fine points, emphasizing the contrast and precision.
Best suited for display typography where contrast and detail can be appreciated: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and statement posters. It can also work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes, but the fine hairlines suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is poised and aspirational, with a dramatic, runway/editorial flair. Its sharp hairlines and elegant stress convey sophistication and formality, leaning toward a premium, classical voice rather than casual or utilitarian text styling.
The design appears intended to deliver an elevated, contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif—optimized for impactful titles and brand moments where elegance, tension, and sharp refinement are desirable.
At larger sizes the hairline details and tapered terminals read as a defining feature, especially in the cross strokes and serif tips. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with curvy figures like 2, 3, 5, and 9 feeling particularly calligraphic and display-oriented.
