This serif shows a pronounced thick–thin rhythm with very fine hairlines set against strong vertical stems, creating a crisp, sculpted texture. Serifs are delicate and sharp, with wedge-like entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals that give many letters a slightly calligraphic, cut-stone feel. Round forms (C, O, Q, e, o) are smooth and controlled with clear stress and thin joins, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay clean and pointed. Spacing reads even and intentional in text, with compact counters and a polished, display-leaning refinement that remains legible at larger sizes.
It excels in magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, and premium branding where high contrast and sharp detailing can shine. It is also well suited to logotypes, packaging, and pull quotes, especially when set with generous size and careful tracking to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is upscale and poised, with a dramatic contrast that signals luxury and editorial sophistication. Its crisp hairlines and precise finishing lend a sense of modern glamour, while the classic serif construction keeps it rooted in traditional refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif with a luxurious, editorial voice—combining classic proportions with razor-fine detailing for impact in display typography while maintaining a composed reading rhythm in short passages.
Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in impression due to strong vertical emphasis and narrow interior apertures in some glyphs. The numerals match the letterforms’ elegance, using sharp, tapered strokes and consistent contrast to maintain a cohesive, high-end texture.
