A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical stress. Stems are sturdy and straight while cross-strokes and connecting curves drop to hairline weight, creating a crisp, sparkling texture in text. Serifs are narrow and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many terminals end in tapered points or small wedges. Counters are relatively open and the overall fit feels generous, giving the design a spacious, display-ready presence while still maintaining coherent paragraph rhythm.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines can breathe and the contrast can read cleanly—magazine and journal headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book covers and titling, and elegant event materials. In longer text, it works most convincingly in well-printed, higher-resolution settings where fine strokes won’t break up.
The typeface conveys a poised, high-end tone with a sense of tradition and ceremony. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing suggest fashion, culture, and premium editorial contexts rather than utilitarian everyday typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serifs: elegant proportions, a bright, refined page color, and sharp finishing details that emphasize sophistication and authority in display and editorial typography.
Uppercase forms feel stately and stable, with clean geometry and careful curve control in letters like C, G, O, and Q. Lowercase includes distinctive, sharp ear/terminal behavior (notably on a, c, f, r, and y), reinforcing the crisp, engraved-like character. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with strong verticals and fine horizontals for a consistent set.
