This serif typeface features pronounced thick–thin modulation with a vertical stress and crisp hairline serifs. Letterforms are tall and refined, with sharp joins and clean, unbracketed terminals that give strokes a precise, engraved feel. Curves in characters like C, G, O, and Q are smooth and controlled, while the lowercase shows compact, tidy construction with a double-storey g and a small, delicate e. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with fine entry strokes and tapered endings that keep the overall texture light and airy at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other large-scale editorial typography where its contrast and fine details can remain clear. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and campaign work when used with ample whitespace and sufficiently large sizes to preserve the hairline features.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting an editorial, high-end sensibility. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing details read as cultured and formal, with a fashion-forward edge that feels at home in luxury and arts contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif: refined proportions, a luminous page color, and sharply defined terminals that emphasize elegance and authority in display and editorial use.
In text settings the hairlines become a defining feature, creating a bright, shimmering rhythm that rewards generous sizes and careful spacing. The design’s elegance comes from the consistency of its verticals and the clean, pointed serif treatment, while the distinctive ball-like terminals on select strokes add a subtle touch of sophistication without becoming ornamental.
