This serif face shows a sharply modulated stroke with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a predominantly vertical axis. Serifs are fine and tapered, often hairline-like, with clean bracket transitions and crisp terminals. Curves are smooth and generous (notably in O, Q, and C), while stems stay firm and straight, creating a high-end, print-forward rhythm. Proportions feel balanced and bookish with a moderate x-height, open counters, and slightly narrow joins that keep forms sleek rather than bulky.
It is well suited to editorial settings such as magazine titles, section heads, pull quotes, and book-cover typography where a refined, high-contrast serif can provide immediate hierarchy. It also fits premium branding and packaging, especially for beauty, fashion, and luxury goods, and works effectively in larger sizes where the delicate serifs and contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, evoking luxury publishing and classic high-fashion typography. Its high-contrast sparkle and delicate finishing details read as formal and cultured, with a confident, boutique editorial presence.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, high-fashion take on classical serif construction: crisp hairlines, vertical emphasis, and disciplined proportions that create a bright typographic ‘shine.’ It prioritizes elegance and hierarchy for display and editorial roles while keeping conventional letter structures for familiarity.
Numerals follow the same refined contrast and crisp finishing, with elegant curves and controlled width changes across the set. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented structure (two-storey a and g) that maintains clarity while preserving the face’s glossy, high-contrast personality.
