A refined high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline thins and dominant vertical stems. Serifs are sharp and clean with minimal bracketing, giving the forms a precise, cut-paper finish. Curves show strong vertical stress, and many characters feature distinctive split or inline-like detailing that creates a layered, engraved look without becoming fully decorative script. Proportions read slightly expansive, with tall capitals and a notably small x-height that emphasizes ascenders and descenders; spacing appears open, supporting clear word shapes in display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its hairlines and internal detailing can render cleanly: magazine and web headlines, luxury and beauty branding, logotypes, premium packaging, and event materials such as invitations and programs. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers when set with generous size and leading.
The overall tone is luxe and editorial, combining classic formal structure with a subtly theatrical, ornamental edge. It feels poised and upscale, with enough idiosyncratic detailing to suggest couture, boutique branding, and refined packaging rather than utilitarian text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classic high-contrast serif, adding distinctive inline/split detailing to amplify elegance and visual signature. Its proportions and crisp finishing suggest an emphasis on impact and sophistication in branding and editorial contexts.
The internal detailing and fine hairlines increase sparkle and visual texture, especially in rounded letters and numerals, which can make the face feel more ornamental at smaller sizes. The lowercase includes a two-story “a” and “g,” and several letters show pronounced terminals that contribute to a slightly calligraphic rhythm while staying firmly upright.
