A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, combining thick vertical stems with extremely fine hairlines and delicate, sharp serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, with crisp joins and a generally narrow-feeling internal rhythm despite generous letter width in rounds like O and C. Uppercase forms are stately and clean, while the lowercase shows a traditional book face structure with a two-storey a, a looped g, and clear, open counters. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast logic, with thin connecting strokes and strong main stems that create a sparkling texture at text sizes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant titling where high contrast can be appreciated. It also fits fashion and luxury branding, packaging, and formal materials such as invitations or certificates, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, projecting a polished, high-end editorial character. Its dramatic contrast and fine detailing suggest sophistication and ceremony rather than utilitarian everyday neutrality.
The design intention reads as a modern, high-contrast serif aimed at delivering sophistication and drama through extreme stroke modulation and crisp detailing. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact, with a text sample that maintains a refined, shimmering rhythm while still feeling distinctly display-led.
Spacing appears carefully balanced to keep hairlines from collapsing into grayness, producing a bright, airy color in paragraphs. The design’s delicate terminals and thin horizontals make it visually striking in larger sizes, where the sharpness and contrast become prominent.
