A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline details. Serifs are fine and sharp with subtle bracketing, and many joins taper into pointed, calligraphic-feeling terminals. Proportions are generally classical, with a relatively tall uppercase presence and clear differentiation between rounds and straights; counters stay open and clean despite the delicate strokes. The overall rhythm is refined and slightly dramatic, with narrow hairlines and strong vertical stems creating a bright, shimmering texture in text.
Well suited to magazine and editorial layouts, especially for headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast can shine. It also fits fashion, beauty, and premium branding contexts that benefit from a refined, high-end voice. For long text, it will perform best when size, spacing, and reproduction quality support its very thin hairlines.
The tone is sophisticated and polished, leaning toward luxury editorial typography. Its sharpness and contrast communicate formality and poise, with a fashionable edge suited to high-end presentation. The design reads confident and curated rather than friendly or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography: elegant, attention-grabbing, and optimized for sophisticated display and editorial work. Its sharpened terminals and delicate serifs emphasize refinement and visual drama while maintaining conventional readability cues.
At larger sizes the hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature, giving headlines a carved, high-fashion look. In dense paragraphs the contrast produces a lively texture, and the thinnest strokes can feel delicate, suggesting careful use on backgrounds and printing conditions that preserve fine detail.
