This serif features pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, giving joins a slightly softened transition while keeping the overall silhouette crisp. Capitals are stately and relatively wide with ample internal space; curves are smooth and controlled, and stroke endings often finish in fine points. Lowercase forms are compact and energetic, with a two-storey a and g, a slender f, and ball terminals appearing in places such as the j. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin spines and strong vertical stems that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, magazine typography, and book or article titles where high contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for premium branding and formal invitations, especially in larger sizes; for long-form reading, it will generally prefer comfortable sizes and generous leading to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its strong contrast and delicate details create a sense of drama and luxury, while the classic proportions keep it grounded and familiar rather than experimental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif, emphasizing elegance and hierarchy for editorial and branding contexts. It prioritizes sharpness, sparkle, and refined serif detailing to create a confident, premium voice.
In text, the rhythm is driven by sturdy verticals punctuated by very fine cross-strokes, producing a sparkling texture. The italic is not shown; the presented style reads as a crisp roman suited to settings where detail can be preserved.
