A refined serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are delicate and often sharply pointed, with subtle bracketing on heavier joins, giving the forms a carved, high-waisted profile. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow apertures and elegant terminals; the overall rhythm is vertical and stately. Uppercase proportions feel classical and composed, while the lowercase shows lively details such as a single-storey g, narrow shoulders, and a distinctive looping descender on y. Figures are similarly high-contrast, with stylized shapes (notably the 2, 3, and 8) that read best at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and mastheads where its contrast and hairline detailing can be appreciated. It also fits premium brand identities, beauty and fashion applications, and upscale packaging. For longer passages, it will perform best in larger text sizes and high-quality output where delicate strokes are preserved.
The typeface conveys a polished, editorial sophistication with a distinctly dramatic edge. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted contrast evoke luxury branding and high-fashion typography, projecting confidence, precision, and formality rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a conventional serif model, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and typographic drama. Its combination of classical proportions with stylized details suggests a focus on editorial and brand expression rather than utilitarian body copy.
In text settings the fine horizontals and hairline serifs create a shimmering texture, especially in dense passages and at smaller sizes. Spacing appears measured and relatively tight, which reinforces the elegant, magazine-like color but benefits from comfortable point sizes and generous leading. The overall design leans toward display-oriented refinement while remaining coherent across letters and numerals.
