This typeface is a high-contrast serif with a distinctly vertical axis and sharp, delicate hairline serifs. Strokes transition abruptly from thick verticals to extremely fine horizontals and joins, creating a crisp, sculpted rhythm. The serifs are narrow and pointed with minimal bracketing, and many terminals finish in clean, tapered cuts that emphasize precision. Proportions read as generously wide with ample internal counters, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and a relatively formal, controlled construction.
It performs best in display sizes for headlines, magazine titling, fashion and beauty branding, and high-end packaging where its contrast and fine details can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or section headers when given sufficient size, spacing, and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and poised, with a dramatic sparkle typical of luxury and editorial typography. Its strong thick–thin contrast and sharp detailing convey sophistication, ceremony, and a slightly theatrical refinement. The font feels more “couture” than casual, suited to settings where visual prestige matters.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif voice with maximum contrast and clean, incisive finishing. Its wide proportions and disciplined vertical stress prioritize elegance and impact over neutrality, aiming for a premium, editorial presence.
In text, the hairlines and delicate serifs create a bright texture and pronounced contrast pattern, especially in mixed-case. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin cross-strokes that reinforce a refined, display-oriented character.
