A high-contrast serif with prominent thick–thin modulation and an upright, poised stance. Hairline serifs and tapered, wedge-like entries give many strokes a sharpened, cut-in feel, while curves show a strong vertical stress and tight, clean joins. Capitals are elegant and slightly narrow with long, crisp horizontals; lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and use delicate, tapering terminals (notably in f, j, y) that add sparkle without looking ornate. Numerals follow the same contrast logic with sculpted curves and fine finishing strokes, creating a polished, display-ready rhythm across the set.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand work where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It will also perform well for invitations, posters, and premium packaging or beauty/luxury identities that benefit from a crisp, elevated serif voice.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-fashion, with a dramatic contrast that reads as premium and editorial. Its sharp terminals and glossy rhythm suggest formality and confidence, leaning toward a modern luxury feel rather than rustic or casual warmth.
The font appears designed to deliver an elegant, contemporary serif voice with strong contrast and razor-fine finishing, aiming for impact in display settings while retaining conventional letterforms for familiar readability.
The design emphasizes tension between hairline details and dense vertical stems, producing a bright shimmer at larger sizes. Spacing appears balanced for titles and short passages, and the punctuation and symbols shown (including ampersand and apostrophe) match the same refined, tapering vocabulary.
