A sharply modeled serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with rounded bowls and neatly tapered joins that keep counters open despite the delicate horizontals. Capitals feel statuesque and slightly formal, while the lowercase shows a polished text rhythm with compact apertures and clean, minimally bracketed terminals. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing sturdy verticals with thin cross-strokes for a crisp, print-like texture.
Well suited to magazine typography, book titles, and other editorial layouts where elegance and hierarchy are important. It excels in display and headline settings, and can also support refined branding applications such as beauty, luxury, or cultural identities when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a contemporary editorial sensibility with classic, high-fashion refinement. Its contrast and hairline details give it a premium, curated feel that reads as confident and cultured rather than casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast serif form, emphasizing sophistication, clarity, and a premium editorial voice. Its proportions and stroke logic aim to balance a dramatic silhouette with consistent text rhythm.
The design’s finest strokes and small interior details become especially prominent at larger sizes, where the sharp transitions and delicate serifs are most visible. In continuous text, it produces a bright, lightly sparkling texture driven by thin horizontals and tapered terminals.
