This serif features pronounced thick–thin modulation with razor-fine hairlines and sharply tapered serifs. The capitals are broad and stately, with smooth, round bowls and crisp joins that create a polished, high-end sheen. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a relatively moderate x-height, compact apertures, and clean terminals, while numerals show strong contrast and elegant curves. Overall rhythm is even and composed, with a slightly expansive set that gives the text a spacious, refined color at display sizes.
It performs best in display typography—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, luxury branding, and refined posters—where the contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also suit elegant short-form text such as invitations, chapter openers, and pull quotes when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The tone is poised and high-fashion, combining classical bookish credibility with a distinctly dramatic, runway-like sharpness. Its contrast and crisp serifs communicate prestige and ceremony, lending a sense of formality and editorial authority.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, polished take on a high-contrast serif for editorial and brand-forward applications. It emphasizes elegance and authority through crisp serifs, sculpted curves, and confident, wide-set capitals.
The font’s thin strokes and tight hairlines make internal counters and joins feel especially crisp; in dense settings this can read as bright and sparkling rather than dark and matte. Curved characters show smooth, controlled stress, and diagonal letters maintain a clean, chiseled silhouette without appearing calligraphic.
