This serif typeface shows pronounced stroke modulation with very thin hairlines and sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs. Capitals are tall and poised with crisp joins and a controlled, vertical stance, while curves (C, G, S, O) feel smooth and finely drawn. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with long ascenders/descenders and a slightly calligraphic movement in letters like a, g, e, and s, where terminals and entry strokes taper to fine points. Numerals match the letterforms’ contrast and delicacy, giving figures an elegant, dressy rhythm in text.
It is well suited to magazine titles, pull quotes, and headline typography where its contrast and finesse can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also support luxury-oriented branding and formal communications such as invitations, especially when given generous spacing and clean printing conditions.
The overall tone is sophisticated and polished, leaning toward a contemporary luxury and editorial feel. Its high drama comes from the razor-thin hairlines and taut, sculpted shapes, which read as premium and style-conscious rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-style serif with strong contrast and refined detailing, prioritizing elegance and visual impact. It emphasizes a sculpted, editorial texture that feels contemporary while still rooted in traditional serif construction.
In setting, the thin horizontals and fine terminals create a bright, airy texture, while the heavier vertical strokes provide clear structure. The italic-like energy appears in some lowercase constructions and terminals, but the overall impression remains steady and formal.
