A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and very fine hairlines. Serifs are crisp and largely unbracketed, with delicate, needle-like entry strokes and sharp terminals that emphasize a polished, formal rhythm. Counters are open and smooth, and the overall color on the page is bright and airy, with strong stroke contrast defining letterforms more than mass. Numerals follow the same display-forward construction, with elegant curves and thin connecting strokes that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and editorial typography where its contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fashion applications, invitations, and high-end packaging where a refined, classical voice is desired.
The tone is luxurious and poised, projecting a fashion and editorial sensibility with a distinctly classical, print-centric refinement. Its sharp contrast and disciplined geometry feel ceremonious and upscale rather than casual.
The design intention appears to be an elegant, high-contrast serif optimized for display use, pairing dramatic stroke modulation with crisp, modernized detailing to deliver a premium editorial look.
In continuous text, the hairlines and tight joins create a shimmering texture, and the sharpness of serifs and terminals becomes a key part of the visual personality. The design favors clarity of silhouette and sophistication over ruggedness, with curves that feel carefully tensioned and controlled.
