A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical axis. The design pairs sturdy main stems with very fine hairlines and sharp, unbracketed serifs, producing crisp joins and a clean, polished silhouette. Capitals feel tall and stately with generous internal space, while the lowercase maintains a measured rhythm and traditional proportions; the two-storey “a” and “g” reinforce a classical, bookish structure. Numerals are similarly contrasty and sculpted, with clear, display-oriented forms that echo the letterfit and stroke logic.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, posters, and elegant invitations. It can also work for short editorial decks or pull quotes where its high contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, projecting a contemporary editorial sophistication rooted in classic serif tradition. Its razor-thin details and bold verticals create a sense of drama and luxury, reading as confident, stylish, and deliberate rather than casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif: maximizing elegance and impact through sharp serifs, vertical stress, and dramatic stroke modulation. The intent reads as prioritizing refined, premium presentation for prominent typographic moments.
At larger sizes the hairlines and delicate serifs become a defining feature, giving the text a refined sparkle and a distinctly “cut” appearance. The letterforms show controlled, consistent stress and a smooth cadence in mixed-case settings, with punctuation and figures matching the same formal, contrast-forward voice.
