This serif typeface is built on dramatic thick–thin modulation with hairline horizontals and strong, confident vertical stems. Serifs are fine and crisp with a largely unbracketed, modern feel, producing sharp joins and clear, high-end edges. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly narrow in impression, while lowercase shows a compact, controlled rhythm with teardrop and ball-like terminals appearing in places (notably on letters such as a, c, f, j, y). The overall spacing and texture read as clean and polished at display sizes, with delicate details that become visually prominent as the size increases.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display applications where its hairline details can be appreciated. It works especially well for magazine layouts, luxury and beauty branding, event materials, and elegant packaging, and can also serve as an accent serif paired with a quieter text face.
The tone is poised and luxurious, evoking fashion publishing and high-end branding. Its sharp contrast and precise finishing give it a confident, formal voice with a distinctly modern-classic character rather than a warm, handwritten one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing sophistication and visual drama. Its precise serifs, strong vertical stress, and refined terminals suggest a focus on editorial impact and premium brand presence.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender hairlines and emphasized verticals that lend them a refined, editorial presence. Curves are smooth and disciplined, and the combination of hairline serifs and pronounced stems creates a sparkling page color that feels premium but can appear delicate in small sizes or low-resolution contexts.
