A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Vertical stems are dominant and smooth, while joins and curves taper to sharp, clean terminals, creating a glossy, engraved feel. Proportions are relatively narrow in the rounds with generous counters, and the lowercase shows a traditional two-storey a with an open, elegant bowl and a compact ear. Numerals follow the same contrasty rhythm, with thin crossbars and tapered details that emphasize a refined, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and luxury branding where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages in editorial settings when set with comfortable size and leading to preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, balancing classical bookish structure with a distinctly glamorous, editorial edge. Its sharp contrast and poised rhythm convey sophistication, luxury, and a slightly dramatic presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast serif for premium communication—prioritizing elegance, clarity of silhouette, and striking thick–thin drama in display and editorial typography.
At text sizes the extreme contrast produces a sparkling rhythm where hairlines recede and verticals lead, giving a bright, high-end page color. Capitals feel statuesque and formal, while the lowercase maintains an airy cadence through open apertures and light connecting strokes.
