A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The design leans toward a modern/classic book-and-fashion serif rhythm: verticals carry strong weight while joins and finishing strokes taper sharply, creating a polished, high-definition texture. Counters are relatively open and the letterforms feel spacious, with a steady baseline and controlled curves. Terminals are clean and sculpted, and the overall color on the page is elegant but striking due to the contrast and sharp details.
Works best in headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and brand systems where high contrast can read cleanly. It can also suit formal materials such as invitations and certificates, especially when set with generous spacing and comfortable line height.
The tone is poised and upscale, projecting an editorial, boutique sensibility. Its sharp contrast and clean finishing give it a sense of ceremony and sophistication, with a slightly theatrical edge suited to premium branding.
Likely intended as a contemporary, high-contrast serif for refined typography—delivering a classic, premium voice with sharp detail and strong vertical emphasis for impactful display and editorial use.
At text sizes the fine serifs and thin strokes create a delicate sparkle, while at larger sizes the tapered details and curve transitions become a key part of the character. Numerals and capitals appear especially suited to display settings, where the crisp modulation reads as intentional and luxurious.
