A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp hairline serifs, and a largely vertical, upright stance. Capitals are elegant and slightly narrow in feel, with taut curves and sharp joins that create a glossy, editorial rhythm. Lowercase forms are clean and classical, with a two-storey a and g, tight apertures, and delicate entry/exit strokes; the thin horizontals and hairlines give the texture a light, shimmering top line. Numerals follow the same contrast model and read as display-oriented, with fine details that stand out at larger sizes.
Best suited to headline and display settings where its hairlines and sharp terminals can remain intact—such as magazine titles, fashion lookbooks, premium brand identities, and high-end packaging. It can also work for short editorial decks or pull quotes, especially with generous size and line spacing.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, leaning toward fashion and magazine aesthetics. Its dramatic contrast and fine details project confidence and prestige, with a contemporary, curated feel rather than a purely old-style warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern editorial serif voice: classic construction paired with extreme contrast and refined finishing for impactful, upscale typography. It prioritizes elegance and drama, aiming for high visual presence in titles and branded statements.
The font’s thinnest strokes and serifs are extremely light, creating a sparkling page color in larger headlines but a more fragile texture as size decreases. Spacing appears designed to keep large text airy and elegant, with strong verticals and controlled curves driving a stately cadence.
