A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions, vertical stress, and sharp hairline detailing. Serifs are fine and crisp, with a mostly unbracketed feel and small, pointed finishing strokes. The letterforms show a classic, slightly calligraphic construction—rounds are sculpted and inward-curving, while stems and main strokes stay firm and upright. Proportions vary across the set, giving capitals a stately presence and creating lively rhythm in mixed-case text; the numerals echo the same contrast and elegant modulation.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and editorial typography where contrast and elegance are desired. It also fits premium branding and packaging, invitations, and display settings that benefit from a classic, high-fashion serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted forms feel refined and formal, while the strong contrast adds a sense of theatrical flair and prestige.
This font appears designed to deliver a modernized classic serif look: strong contrast, vertical stress, and razor-fine serifs aimed at creating an upscale, editorial texture. The variable proportions and sculpted curves suggest an emphasis on expressive display performance while remaining coherent in short paragraphs and mixed-case settings.
In text, the fine hairlines and narrow internal spaces in certain letters (notably around S, e, and a) create a sparkling texture that benefits from comfortable size and good reproduction. The design’s crisp joins and thin serifs read as intentional and ornamental rather than utilitarian, emphasizing elegance over rugged neutrality.
