A delicate serif with sharply tapered hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, producing a polished, high-contrast texture. Serifs are fine and clean, with a modern, controlled feel rather than heavy bracketed joins; terminals and joins stay crisp even in tight curves. Proportions are fairly classical with generous capitals and a measured, readable lowercase; counters are open and the rhythm is even, lending a smooth, upscale page color at display sizes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, reading as elegant and slightly formal.
Well suited for magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, and book-cover titling where high contrast can read as premium and intentional. It also fits luxury branding and formal invitations when paired with ample spacing and generous sizing; for longer passages it will perform best with comfortable leading and in print-like contexts that preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, suggesting luxury, fashion, and high-end publishing. Its bright, airy strokes and crisp detailing convey precision and restraint, with a slightly dramatic, contemporary edge typical of high-contrast book and magazine titling.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, high-end serif voice with classic proportions and a distinctly high-contrast, fashion-oriented finish. It prioritizes elegance and typographic sparkle, emphasizing crisp hairlines and a refined silhouette for impactful display typography.
At larger sizes the hairline details feel sharp and intentional, creating a glamorous sparkle in curves and diagonals. The strong contrast makes it especially striking in headlines, where the thin strokes and fine serifs can be appreciated without breaking the letterforms’ continuity.
