A tightly set serif with tall proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are strong and vertical while hairlines and serifs are extremely fine, producing crisp joins and sharp, tapered terminals. The capitals feel stately and compact, and the lowercase keeps a conventional structure with a two-storey a and g, narrow bowls, and a clean, controlled rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate curves and thin finishing strokes that emphasize a polished, print-oriented texture.
This style is well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book and journal titles, pull quotes, and refined branding where an elegant, high-contrast serif is desired. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print contexts, but it is especially effective in display settings where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is sophisticated and formal, with a fashion-and-literary editorial character. Its dramatic contrast and narrow stance suggest luxury, tradition, and careful typesetting rather than casual or utilitarian use.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice in a compact footprint, combining traditional letterforms with dramatic contrast for a premium, attention-getting presence.
The design reads best when given enough size or print-like resolution to preserve the very thin hairlines; at smaller sizes those details may visually lighten and require generous spacing and line height to maintain clarity.
