A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The design favors tall capitals, tight apertures, and a disciplined, upright structure with a distinctly vertical feel. Serifs are thin and pointed with clean joins, while curves transition into strokes with smooth, high-contrast bracketing that reads more like a modern than an oldstyle. Lowercase forms keep a controlled, bookish rhythm; counters are compact, and terminals often finish in sharp, tapered points. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing delicate hairlines with strong main stems for a polished, editorial look.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, pull quotes, and poster titles where its contrast and fine serifs can read cleanly. It can also work for short editorial subheads or sophisticated packaging text when set at sizes that preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, evoking luxury publishing and contemporary classicism. Its sharp detailing and glossy contrast create a sense of drama and sophistication, lending a boutique, high-end character even in straightforward text.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice with strong vertical emphasis and sparkling contrast, prioritizing elegance and impact in headline and editorial contexts.
In longer settings the thin horizontals and hairlines create a sparkling texture, while heavier vertical strokes anchor the line. The ampersand and several curved letters show a calligraphic refinement in their tapering, helping the face feel expressive without becoming ornate.
