A refined serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems tend to taper and flare subtly into pointed serifs, while hairlines stay extremely fine, creating a crisp, sparkling texture. The letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with tight proportions and careful stroke transitions that emphasize vertical stress and clean, sculpted curves. Numerals and capitals carry the same cut-stone precision, with delicate joins and emphatic main strokes that read best at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display applications where its contrast and fine hairlines can remain intact. It also fits luxury branding, editorial packaging, and book-cover titling that benefits from a refined, high-fashion serif presence.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, balancing classical formality with a modern, fashion-led sharpness. Its strong contrast and knife-edge details give it a luxurious, editorial voice, suited to sophisticated, high-impact typography rather than utilitarian text work.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast serif, using flared, pointed terminals and tight proportions to maximize elegance and impact. It prioritizes visual sophistication and headline authority, aiming for a premium editorial and branding feel.
In continuous setting the font produces a rhythmic pattern of dark verticals and bright counters, with distinctive pointed terminals that add sparkle at the ends of strokes. The lowercase shows a measured, bookish cadence, while the capitals feel more monumental and logo-ready due to their strong vertical emphasis and crisp finishing.
