This serif typeface is built around dramatic thick–thin modulation, with very fine hairlines and strong, vertical main strokes. Serifs are crisp and narrow, generally bracketed and neatly finished, giving terminals a sharp, polished look. The lowercase shows a compact, controlled rhythm with a two-storey a and g, a slim f with a delicate hook, and teardrop-like details in places (notably in the g). Capitals feel stately and drawn for display clarity, with a high-contrast silhouette and a restrained, classical stance that stays steady across the alphabet and figures.
It performs best in headline and display settings where its high contrast and hairline details can be fully resolved—magazine titles, pull quotes, cultural posters, and premium brand applications. In longer text, it is likely to be most comfortable at larger sizes or in high-quality print/digital conditions that preserve the fine strokes.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, projecting a high-end editorial sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions suggest sophistication and formality, with a distinctly modern take on classic book and fashion typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice by pairing strong vertical structure with razor-thin details and precise serif finishing. It aims for impact and sophistication rather than ruggedness, prioritizing a crisp, editorial texture and elegant silhouette.
In the text sample, the fine strokes and tight internal joins read clean at large sizes, while the strong vertical emphasis and delicate cross-strokes give a shimmering, polished texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin connecting strokes that visually match the letterforms.
