A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, dominant vertical stems, and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with a refined, slightly calligraphic sweep in curves and joins. Capitals feel statuesque and carefully proportioned, while the lowercase shows a mix of narrow and more open forms that creates a lively rhythm in text. Details such as the teardrop-like dots, sculpted ear and tail shapes, and the strong thick–thin transitions give the design a polished, display-leaning presence even at body sizes.
Best suited to headlines, fashion and culture editorial, and brand-driven typography where contrast and elegance are assets. It can work for short to medium passages in print-oriented layouts, but it will shine most in display sizes, pull quotes, mastheads, and refined packaging or identity applications.
The overall tone is sophisticated and stylish, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and delicate finishing convey a sense of luxury and formality, while the gently animated curves keep it from feeling overly rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended to evoke classical text-serif heritage through modernized, high-contrast drawing and meticulous finishing. Its proportions and sparkling details suggest a focus on premium editorial and brand expression rather than purely utilitarian reading settings.
The figures and punctuation match the same refined contrast, and the italic-like motion in some curves (notably in S-shaped forms and tails) adds sparkle to headlines. In dense settings, the very fine hairlines can read as airy and delicate, so spacing and size choice will strongly influence perceived sharpness and readability.
