A refined serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and clear vertical stress. The design pairs strong, straight main stems with very fine hairlines and crisp, pointed serifs that read as mostly unbracketed. Proportions are generous and open, with smooth, rounded bowls (notably in O/Q) and a calm, upright rhythm. Lowercase forms are relatively restrained with a moderate x-height, while details such as the hooked descenders and delicate terminals add a sharp, high-end finish.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine spreads, luxury brand identities, and elegant packaging where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits formal invitations and titling, especially where a refined, editorial tone is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, evoking fashion publishing and premium print typography. Its dramatic contrast and sparkling hairlines create a polished, high-drama voice that feels formal, confident, and contemporary-classic rather than casual or rustic.
The font appears designed to deliver a high-contrast, fashion-oriented serif voice with strong vertical structure and minimal serif bracketing. Its intention is to provide crisp, upscale typography that feels classical in construction while remaining clean and contemporary in presentation.
In larger sizes the hairlines and fine serifs become a key feature, giving the text a bright, high-contrast shimmer. The figures follow the same contrasted logic, with delicate curves and thin joins that reinforce a sophisticated, display-forward character.
