This typeface presents as a crisp, high-fashion serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely tapered hairline serifs. The overall construction is upright with a strong vertical stress, producing a clean, stately rhythm in text. Capitals are proportionally wide with sharp, neatly bracketless-feeling serifs and pointed apexes; curves terminate in delicate, blade-like endings. Lowercase forms are compact and disciplined, with a two-storey “g,” a small, high-contrast ear on “g,” and a single-storey “a” that reads calligraphically but controlled. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with sculpted bowls and slender joins, giving figures a polished, display-ready presence.
It is well-suited to magazine and newspaper display typography, fashion and beauty branding, book covers, and other premium titling situations where contrast and finesse are assets. In body copy it can work best in comfortable sizes and generous spacing where the delicate details remain clear.
The tone is luxurious and poised, evoking contemporary editorial design and classic high-contrast printing traditions. Its sharpness and refined detailing lend it a sophisticated, slightly dramatic voice that feels premium and formal without becoming ornate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, polished high-contrast serif for editorial and brand use, emphasizing sharp finishing, verticality, and a luxurious typographic color. Its letterforms prioritize sophistication and visual impact while retaining conventional proportions for versatile composition.
Large sizes emphasize the razor-thin hairlines and pointed terminals, while text settings show a consistent cadence and clear letter differentiation. The “Q” has a distinctive, sweeping tail that adds character in headlines and titling contexts.
