This serif shows razor-thin hairlines paired with fuller main strokes, creating a dramatic, high-contrast texture. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with a crisp, engraved-like finish and little rounding at terminals. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow in the capitals, while the lowercase maintains a readable, traditional rhythm with a normal x-height and clearly differentiated ascenders and descenders. Curves are taut and controlled, and the overall color on the page is airy, with strong vertical emphasis from stems and carefully moderated spacing.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated—magazine titles, fashion spreads, luxury packaging, and refined posters. It can work for short to moderate text in high-quality print or large on-screen settings, but its delicate strokes suggest pairing with generous size and spacing for optimal clarity.
The tone is polished and luxurious, evoking fashion and high-end editorial typography. Its delicate detailing and sharp transitions read as sophisticated and formal, with a cool, poised character rather than a warm, rustic one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif voice with maximal contrast and a couture-like finish. It prioritizes elegance, refinement, and visual drama, aiming to produce a sophisticated editorial texture rather than a sturdy, utilitarian reading face.
Distinctive details include fine, needle-like joins on diagonals and slender crossbars, plus italic-like inflections in some forms (such as the double-storey g and the curved tailing on Q and R). The numerals continue the same contrast and elegance, with thin internal joins and prominent curved bowls that keep the set visually consistent.
