A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and assertive vertical stems, creating a crisp, polished texture. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed, with tapered terminals and delicate joins that keep forms airy despite the strong thick–thin transitions. Proportions are fairly traditional with a slightly narrow feel in many capitals, while the lowercase shows a lively rhythm through varied stroke modulation and a distinctly drawn italic-like stress in some curves. Figures follow the same contrast logic, with elegant shaping and thin cross-strokes that read best when given adequate size and reproduction quality.
Best suited for magazine and book display typography, section heads, pull quotes, and other editorial applications where its contrast and detailing can shine. It also fits fashion and beauty branding, packaging, and formal invitations when used at comfortable sizes with generous spacing and solid printing or rendering.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, projecting sophistication and a curated, high-end sensibility. Its sharp detailing and dramatic contrast evoke fashion, publishing, and classic print refinement rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic serif voice with dramatic contrast and finely finished details, prioritizing elegance and visual impact. It aims to provide a premium, couture-like feel for display-led typography while still offering a coherent text rhythm in larger sizes.
The lowercase introduces noticeable personality through distinctive ear and terminal shapes (e.g., on a, g, and y) and a slightly more expressive, calligraphic feel than the capitals. In text, the font produces a bright page color with pronounced sparkle from the hairlines, which can become fragile at small sizes or in low-resolution settings.
