This typeface is a high-contrast serif with a distinctly vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines against thicker main stems. Serifs are thin, sharp, and largely unbracketed, giving a crisp, engraved feel at display sizes. Round letters (O, C, Q) show smooth, clean curves with pronounced thick–thin modulation, while horizontals and crossbars stay very light. Proportions feel classical and open, with a relatively modest x-height and long ascenders/descenders that create a tall, airy texture. Overall spacing reads even and measured, producing a polished rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, large-size editorial typography, magazine spreads, and brand identities where a refined, premium tone is desired. It can work for short passages such as pull quotes or lead-ins when set with comfortable size and spacing, but it is most visually impactful in display roles.
The tone is luxurious and composed, with a fashion/editorial polish and a formal, high-end presence. Its delicacy and sharpness convey sophistication and restraint, leaning toward classic print refinement rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-fashion take on a classic serif model: strong vertical structure, dramatic contrast, and crisp hairline finishing for a sophisticated, print-forward voice.
Uppercase forms look especially stately and narrow-shouldered, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a graceful flow. The numerals match the same refined contrast and hairline detailing, integrating smoothly in mixed text. The thin strokes and pointed details suggest it will appear most confident when given sufficient size and good reproduction conditions.
