A refined serif with dramatic stroke modulation and razor-thin hairlines paired with confident verticals. Serifs are small and sharp, often wedge-like, with crisp terminals and elegant tapering on diagonals. The overall geometry is classical and well-proportioned, with smooth, rounded bowls and a steady vertical stress that keeps lines of text looking composed. Spacing reads slightly airy in display sizes, helping the thin details stay clear while preserving a clean, controlled rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to editorial design where contrast and refinement are desirable, such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and cultured branding. It also fits book covers and formal collateral when used at sizes that protect the hairline details. For longer text, it will perform best with generous size and leading to maintain clarity and avoid crowding of the finest strokes.
The tone is polished and high-end, combining a classic bookish sensibility with a contemporary, fashion-forward edge. Its delicate hairlines and clean finishing details suggest sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or ruggedness, making it feel curated and premium.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classical serif elegance: high refinement, sharp finishing, and a display-friendly sparkle while remaining readable and orderly in running text when given sufficient space.
In text settings the strong contrast produces a bright, sparkling texture, with thin links and hairlines becoming prominent in lighter passages. The capitals feel stately and poised, while the lowercase maintains an elegant calligraphic flavor without leaning italic.
