This serif features pronounced thick–thin modulation with very thin hairlines and strong vertical stems, producing a crisp, high-contrast texture. Serifs are fine and sharp with a lightly bracketed feel, and many terminals resolve into tapered, calligraphic-looking points. Proportions read relatively wide and open, with generous counters and a calm, upright stance; round letters like O and Q are smooth and expansive, while diagonals in V/W/X are clean and controlled. In text, the rhythm is refined and slightly airy, with clear word shapes and a polished, print-like finish.
This style is well suited to magazine and editorial layouts, fashion and beauty branding, and high-end packaging where contrast and elegance are desirable. It can also work for book covers and large-format headlines, where the sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs have room to show without being overwhelmed by dense text settings.
The overall tone is sophisticated and poised, leaning toward modern luxury and editorial styling. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals add a sense of drama and precision, while the wide, open forms keep it composed rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice with dramatic contrast and crisp finishing details, balancing wide, readable proportions with refined hairline features for premium, headline-forward typography.
Details such as the swashed tail on Q, the crisp, pointed joins on V/W, and the slender, high-contrast numerals reinforce a display-leaning refinement. The ampersand is compact and stylized, matching the font’s sharp, tapered terminal language.
