A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress, crisp unbracketed hairline serifs, and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Capitals are stately and open with sharp terminals, while the lowercase shows compact, orderly proportions and clean joins. Curves are smoothly drawn with tight, delicate hairlines, giving counters a bright, polished look; details like the thin crossbars and fine entry/exit strokes add a precise, cut-paper sharpness. Numerals follow the same contrast and elegance, with narrow joins and refined terminals that keep the set visually consistent in text.
Best suited to display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book covers, and refined packaging. It can also work for short-form text (introductions, pull quotes, captions) when set at sizes that preserve the hairlines and allow the contrast to read cleanly.
The overall tone is formal and sophisticated, leaning toward classic luxury and contemporary editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and crisp serifs convey confidence and ceremony, making it feel suited to high-end, cultured contexts rather than casual or rustic ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classical high-contrast serif construction, emphasizing sharp hairlines, poised verticals, and a polished page color for premium typography.
In longer passages the thin horizontals and hairlines become prominent, creating a sparkling texture and a strong rhythm of verticals. The face rewards generous sizes and comfortable leading, where its delicate detailing and smooth curves remain clear and intentional.
