A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, crisp wedge-like serifs, and extremely fine hairlines that sharpen terminals and joins. Upright capitals feel tall and stately, with broad curves in C/G/O contrasted against needle-thin connecting strokes. The lowercase shows a short x-height with generous ascenders and descenders, giving text a formal, airy rhythm. Numerals echo the same calligraphic contrast, with elegant curves and delicate entry/exit strokes that add a refined sparkle at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where the hairlines and sharp serifs can reproduce cleanly. It also works well for luxury packaging and event collateral, especially when paired with generous spacing and high-quality printing or high-resolution screens.
The font conveys a polished, editorial luxury—cool, composed, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp contrast and poised proportions evoke classic high-fashion typography and formal publishing, where sophistication and visual drama are desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, couture-style serif voice with strong vertical rhythm and dramatic thick–thin transitions. It prioritizes elegance and impact over utilitarian text economy, aiming for refined display typography that still remains readable in short passages.
In continuous text, the thin horizontals and hairline details create a bright, high-key texture that rewards ample size and comfortable tracking/leading. The italic-like liveliness comes from the contrast and stress rather than slant, giving a refined bite without losing upright formality.
