A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions, hairline serifs, and crisp, pointed terminals. The letterforms feel spacious and slightly expanded, with steady vertical stress and clean, bracket-free serifs that read sharply at display sizes. Uppercase capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with a moderate x-height, compact apertures, and neat, controlled curves. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and have a dignified, lining-like presence suited to titling.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display typography where its contrast and refined serifs can be appreciated. It also works well for luxury branding and magazine-style layouts, and can serve as an accent face in longer text when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and authoritative, leaning toward fashion and editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and delicate details give it a premium, formal character that feels composed and intentional.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif voice—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a polished editorial presence over ruggedness or utilitarian readability at small sizes.
The design’s most defining feature is the extreme stroke modulation paired with very thin serifs, creating a bright, sparkling page color in larger settings. In dense paragraphs the fine hairlines and tight interior spaces can become visually delicate, so it benefits from comfortable sizing and generous leading.
