A sharply contrasted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, near-vertical stress, and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs read as crisp and delicate, with minimal bracketing and a clean, chiseled finish on terminals. Uppercase forms feel stately and sculpted with generous counters and strong verticals, while the lowercase is compact and tidy with a moderate x-height and brisk, precise curves. Overall spacing and rhythm lean toward a poised, display-forward texture where thin strokes and serifs remain visually prominent.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and poster titles where its fine hairlines can be appreciated. It also works well for pull quotes and short subheads in editorial layouts, especially when paired with a quieter text face for body copy.
The tone is polished and aspirational, with a distinctly editorial, high-fashion character. Its dramatic contrast and razor-like details convey elegance and authority, adding a premium, boutique feel to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast serif look optimized for impactful display use—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a refined page presence over utilitarian neutrality.
The font’s thins are extremely light compared to the stems, creating a sparkling edge at larger sizes but a potentially fragile impression when reduced. Curves (notably in round letters and figures) emphasize crisp transitions between thick and thin, reinforcing a formal, print-classic cadence.
