This serif typeface features very thin hairlines paired with strong verticals and gently flared stroke endings, producing a crisp, high-fashion silhouette. Serifs are fine and sharp with tapered entry/exit strokes, and curves are drawn with clean, controlled modulation. The capitals feel statuesque with ample internal space, while the lowercase maintains a composed rhythm with compact joins and carefully thinned links. Figures echo the same contrast and tapering, with open counters and delicate, razor-like terminals that keep the overall texture light and bright.
Best suited for headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and brand marks where its fine hairlines and contrast can be shown clearly. It can also work for short passages in spacious editorial layouts, but it will generally perform strongest at display sizes and in high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, combining classical formality with a modern, high-contrast sheen. It suggests premium editorial design—confident, polished, and slightly dramatic—without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, premium serif voice by combining classical proportions with pronounced contrast and flared endings. Its letterforms prioritize elegance and visual sparkle on the page, aiming for impact and sophistication in display typography.
Large-size rendering shows pronounced hairline details in letters like a, e, s, and g, and distinctive tapered diagonals in characters such as K, V, W, and X. The Q’s sweeping tail and the strong contrast in round forms (O, C, G) emphasize a refined, display-oriented character.
