A sharply contrasted serif with vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are sturdy while connecting strokes and serifs taper to fine hairlines, producing a clean, bright texture at display sizes. Serifs are small and precise with minimal bracketing, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and Q) show smooth, controlled bowls with a polished finish. Proportions lean toward classical capitals with generous counters, while the lowercase remains relatively compact and tidy, with a two-storey g, a narrow, straight-sided r, and a crisp, high-contrast e.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling where its fine hairlines and contrast can remain clear. It works especially well for magazine layouts, luxury and beauty branding, cultural posters, and book-cover typography where a refined, high-fashion voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward feel. Its razor-thin details and controlled geometry evoke formality and luxury, reading as confident and sophisticated rather than casual or rustic.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern classic display serif: high contrast, precise detailing, and an upscale editorial presence. It prioritizes dramatic stroke modulation and polished letterforms to create impact and sophistication in prominent typographic settings.
At larger sizes the hairlines look crisp and intentional, giving the design a glossy, print-oriented character. The numerals follow the same contrast logic, appearing elegant and slightly delicate, and the wide capitals alongside narrower lowercase create a lively, refined rhythm in mixed-case text.
