A refined serif with razor-thin hairlines, strong vertical stems, and sharply finished wedge-to-hairline serifs. The design shows a pronounced vertical stress and crisp, clean terminals, producing a sparkling texture at text sizes and a commanding presence in display. Proportions run on the condensed side, with tight letterfit and compact counters; rounded forms stay tall and oval, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain taut and elegant. Numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast, fashion-forward construction, keeping the overall rhythm consistent across the set.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display roles where contrast and elegance can be showcased. It works well for fashion and lifestyle editorial, premium branding, and upscale packaging; in longer text, it benefits from generous size and careful spacing to preserve the hairlines and maintain clarity.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a distinctly editorial and runway sensibility. Its stark thick–thin modulation reads as dramatic and intentional, evoking luxury branding, cultural institutions, and sophisticated print design.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice built around extreme stroke contrast and condensed proportions. The intent appears to be creating a luxurious, attention-grabbing typographic color while retaining conventional serif construction for familiar reading patterns.
The lowercase shows a classic, bookish structure with a two-storey “a” and “g,” paired with fine entry/exit strokes that can appear delicate on light backgrounds. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample text reinforce the sharp, chiseled detailing and the font’s preference for clean, controlled typography over softness.
