This serif typeface is built around pronounced thick–thin modulation with strong vertical stress and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, giving strokes a crisp, cut-in quality at terminals. Uppercase forms feel stately and well-proportioned with generous counters, while the lowercase shows a balanced, bookish rhythm with a moderate x-height and clear ascenders/descenders. Curves (notably in O, C, and S) are smooth and taut, and the overall texture is airy and bright on the page, with thin horizontals that emphasize its refined contrast.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, luxury packaging, and branding where refinement and contrast are desirable. It can also work for short-form text like pull quotes or formal invitations when set with ample size and comfortable spacing to preserve its fine details.
The tone is polished and high-end, conveying a sense of luxury and editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and needle-like details add a poised, fashion-forward sharpness that reads as formal and curated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif forms, prioritizing elegance, sharp detailing, and a luminous page color for premium editorial and branding contexts.
The most delicate strokes and serifs become a defining feature of the texture, creating a sparkling, high-definition look at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and feel suited to display settings, with clear differentiation and elegant curves.
