A sharp, modern serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering hairlines. Serifs are delicate and bracketed, with a sculpted feel at stroke terminals and subtle flare where stems meet serifs. Counters are generous and the overall rhythm is vertical and poised, while curves show a controlled, calligraphic stress. Uppercase forms read stately and formal; lowercase maintains clarity with compact, elegant shapes and clean ascenders/descenders.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast and fine serifs can stay crisp. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and event or wedding invitations, and can work for short editorial passages when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The font conveys an editorial, high-fashion tone—polished, confident, and slightly theatrical. Its dramatic contrast and refined detailing suggest sophistication and premium positioning rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward serif voice while retaining classical proportions and readable forms. Its emphasis is on elegance and visual impact through high contrast, precise terminals, and a disciplined, vertical rhythm.
In text settings the thin strokes and hairline serifs create a sparkling texture with strong figure–ground contrast, especially at larger sizes. Numerals share the same high-contrast construction, with curved figures showing pronounced hairline sweeps and crisp terminals that echo the letters’ detailing.
