A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, weighty stems, and distinctly bracketed, tapered serifs. The design shows a sculpted, calligraphic stress that gives round letters a slightly pinched, elegant modulation, while verticals remain firm and commanding. Uppercase forms feel spacious and stately, and the lowercase balances compact bowls with crisp terminals, producing a rhythmic, print-like texture. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with narrow joins and pronounced thick–thin transitions that read strongly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial typography, and brand expressions that benefit from strong contrast and a refined, classic voice. It can work well for packaging, event titles, and pull quotes where sharp detail and elegant modulation are assets, especially in larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, projecting confidence and tradition with a fashion-forward edge. Its strong contrast and crisp details create a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the lively modulation keeps it from feeling purely austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional display/text serif: stately proportions paired with high-contrast sparkle and crisp serif detailing to create impact without abandoning classic typographic cues.
The font’s delicate hairlines and sharp joins create striking sparkle in larger settings, but the same features can visually thin out as size decreases. The shapes maintain a consistent serif language across cases, with a noticeably emphatic presence in capitals and a slightly more animated, calligraphic feel in the lowercase.
