A delicate, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines. Stems are tall and clean, with fine, crisp serifs that read mostly unbracketed, giving a sharp, polished edge. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase keeps a measured, bookish rhythm with compact joins and clean terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in O/C/G/S), and the numerals follow the same refined contrast, with slender diagonals and precise finishing details.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, lookbooks, and luxury identity systems where large sizes can show off the fine hairlines and crisp serif work. It also fits formal stationery and invitations, especially in spacious settings with careful printing or high-resolution output.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, evoking couture editorial typography and classical book refinement. Its sparkle comes from the dramatic contrast and airy texture, which creates a sense of sophistication and ceremony rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward take on a classical high-contrast serif: maximizing elegance and visual drama through slender horizontals, strong verticals, and crisp finishing. It prioritizes refined display presence and typographic sophistication over rugged, everyday utility.
The light hairlines and thin cross-strokes produce a bright, shimmering page color at display sizes, while small counters and tight apertures in some letters can look more delicate when reduced. Punctuation and the ampersand maintain the same sharp, high-style detailing, reinforcing a consistent, formal voice.
