This typeface is a sharply contrasted serif with a strong vertical axis and extremely fine hairlines set against robust main strokes. Serifs are crisp and delicate, with a modern, cut-stone feel rather than rounded transitions, and terminals tend to finish in pointed or tapered forms. Capitals are tall and commanding with a clean, chiseled rhythm, while the lowercase keeps a measured x-height and shows elegant, high-contrast joins and bowls. The overall texture is bright and airy due to the thin horizontals and tight internal counters, with letterforms that feel intentionally sculpted rather than softened.
Best suited for large-size applications such as magazine headlines, mastheads, luxury branding, fragrance/cosmetics packaging, and high-impact posters. It can also work for short subheads and pull quotes where its contrast and detail can remain clear and intentional.
The tone is polished and high-fashion, projecting luxury and formality with a dramatic, editorial edge. Its razor-thin details and confident verticality read as premium and sophisticated, suited to brand-forward, image-led typography.
The design appears intended as a contemporary high-contrast display serif: prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a couture-like presence over utilitarian neutrality. Its forms aim to deliver a refined, premium signature in editorial and brand contexts.
At display sizes the hairlines and fine serifs become a defining feature, producing a shimmering contrast that heightens elegance but can also make the page color feel lighter and more delicate. The numerals follow the same refined contrast, contributing to a cohesive, upscale voice across letters and figures.
