A high-contrast serif with crisp, vertical emphasis and sharply tapered hairlines. Serifs are fine and clean, with minimal bracketing and a distinctly engraved feel at joins. Capitals are broad and stately with generous internal counters, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm and clear differentiation between thick stems and thin connecting strokes. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are precise, and the overall texture reads bright and glossy on the page due to the thin horizontals and strong verticals.
Best suited for display-driven typography such as headlines, magazine features, book covers, and luxury or cultural branding. It also works well for pull quotes and short-form editorial settings where its contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated.
The font conveys a polished, classical tone with a touch of drama. Its sharp contrast and poised proportions feel ceremonial and editorial, suggesting sophistication and authority rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classical, high-contrast serif typography: stately letterforms, disciplined structure, and precise hairlines aimed at elegant, attention-grabbing communication.
In the text sample, the spacing supports a composed reading rhythm, and the thin hairlines create a distinctly sparkling pattern that becomes more pronounced as size decreases. Numerals appear lining and similarly contrasty, matching the formal voice of the letters.
