This typeface presents a delicate, high-contrast serif construction with very thin hairlines and noticeably thicker verticals. Serifs are sharp and lightly flared, giving terminals a tapered, sculpted finish rather than blunt slabs. The overall drawing feels narrow and vertical, with tight interior spaces and a clean, controlled rhythm across the alphabet. Curves are smooth and taut, and the joins and apexes (notably in V/W/Y and N/M) are crisp, producing an elegant, slightly tensioned texture in text.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial or brand-led typography where its contrast and sharp serif details can be appreciated. It is well-suited to magazine layouts, fashion and beauty identities, and elegant poster or campaign work, particularly when set with generous spacing and at sizes that protect the fine strokes.
The tone is refined and fashion-forward, combining classical serif cues with a contemporary, airy lightness. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions create a sense of luxury and drama, suited to sophisticated, image-led communication rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary serif voice with pronounced contrast and flared detailing, balancing classic proportions with a sharper, more modern finish. Its forms prioritize visual sophistication and hierarchy-building impact in display and editorial contexts.
The numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic and look designed for display settings, with slender horizontals and prominent vertical emphasis. In the text sample, the face reads cleanly at larger sizes, where the hairlines and flared endings become a key part of its character.
