A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and weighty vertical stems, creating a crisp, glossy rhythm on the page. Serifs are fine and elegant with a lightly bracketed feel, and several letters show tapered joins and delicate finishing strokes. Curves are smoothly modeled with pronounced thick–thin transitions, and many glyphs feature small ball terminals or teardrop-like details (notably in the lower-case). Proportions feel traditionally bookish with relatively narrow counters in places and slightly variable letterfit that becomes more apparent in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and fine details can print cleanly. It also fits premium branding, beauty/fashion applications, and upscale packaging, especially when set with generous spacing and high-quality output.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward confidence. Its sharp contrast and polished details suggest luxury and formality more than casual everyday reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a classic text serif—combining traditional proportions with sharper contrast and ornamental terminals for strong impact in display typography.
In running text the strong vertical emphasis and thin cross-strokes give a bright, sparkling texture, while the more decorative terminals add a subtle calligraphic flavor without becoming script-like. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, reading as elegant and display-leaning.
