A high-contrast serif with sharp hairline detailing and strong thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and crisply cut, often lightly bracketed, with tapered terminals that emphasize a polished, engraved feel. Proportions are classical with relatively narrow capitals and lively lowercase shapes; curves show vertical stress and smooth, controlled transitions into stems. Overall rhythm is crisp and dressy, with delicate joins and generous counters that help the thin strokes stay legible at larger sizes.
Well suited to magazine and book editorial design, especially for display sizes such as headlines, pull quotes, and section openers. It also fits premium branding applications—beauty, fashion, hospitality—and formal collateral like invitations and event materials where elegance and contrast are assets.
The font projects a poised, fashion-forward formality—confident and luxurious without feeling ornamental. Its dramatic contrast and precise finishing give it a high-end editorial tone suited to sophisticated, curated communication.
Likely designed to deliver a modern take on conventional serif typography with heightened contrast and meticulous, hairline finishing. The intention appears to balance classic proportions with a contemporary, high-fashion sheen for impactful display and refined editorial settings.
The numerals and capitals share the same refined contrast and sharp finishing, giving headlines a consistent, premium sparkle. In running text, the hairline features read as intentional and stylish, suggesting best performance where printing/screen rendering can preserve fine strokes.
