A crisp, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and very fine hairlines. Stems are slender and straight, while bowls and joins transition abruptly into thin connecting strokes, producing a sharp, polished rhythm. Serifs are delicate and clean with minimal bracketing, and many terminals resolve to pointed or tapered ends. The overall fit reads compact and column-friendly, with narrow capitals, a relatively tall, linear presence, and lining figures that share the same strong thick–thin modulation.
Well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and premium packaging where sharp contrast and refined detail can be reproduced cleanly. It can also work for short editorial text or captions at comfortable sizes, especially in print contexts where hairlines remain intact.
The tone is poised and formal, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and fine details suggest luxury, precision, and a confident, high-end voice rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern classic serif voice: high contrast, vertical elegance, and a crisp, authoritative presence for display-led typography. It prioritizes sophistication and visual impact through tightly controlled proportions and finely cut details.
In text settings the strong vertical rhythm and hairline detailing create a bright, refined texture, while the tighter letterforms emphasize a tailored, space-efficient feel. Numerals and punctuation echo the same sharp contrast, helping headlines and pull quotes feel cohesive.
