A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and strong, vertical main strokes that create a crisp, glossy rhythm on the page. Serifs are fine and precise with minimal bracketing, and terminals often resolve into small teardrops or ball-like finishes, especially in the lowercase. Round letters show a clean vertical stress, while the overall proportions feel slightly narrow and tall, supporting a poised, upscale texture in text and display. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin linking strokes and pronounced thick–thin transitions.
Best suited to display work such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and refined packaging. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes where a bright, high-contrast texture is desired and reproduction quality is high.
The tone is polished and cultivated, with a couture/editorial feel that reads as premium and formal. Its sparkling contrast and delicate details evoke luxury print typography and lend a sense of ceremony to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-end serif voice through strong thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and precise hairline finishing. Its details prioritize elegance and visual drama over neutrality, aiming to elevate titles and branded typography with a distinctly refined presence.
In larger sizes the hairlines and small details (notably in letters like a, e, g, s, and the ampersand) become a defining feature, giving the design a refined, high-fashion character. The overall color is light and airy, with pronounced contrast producing a lively shimmer across lines of text.
