A delicate, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The design favors verticality and clean, smooth curves, with round forms kept open and controlled and joins handled with sharp, tapered terminals. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows a restrained, editorial rhythm with compact bowls, a two-storey “g,” and finely cut details. Numerals and punctuation carry the same refined contrast, giving the whole set a polished, print-like finish.
Well suited to fashion and lifestyle editorial work, magazine headlines, and elegant branding where high contrast and refined detail are an asset. It also fits invitations, packaging, and display typography that benefits from a formal, premium voice; for long-form reading, it will generally perform best at comfortable sizes with considerate leading.
The overall tone is sophisticated and poised, leaning toward luxury and editorial styling rather than casual everyday text. Its sharp contrast and tidy detailing communicate formality, precision, and a contemporary take on classical serif manners.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, premium serif voice built on strong contrast and crisp finishing, optimized for striking titles and polished editorial typography while retaining a conventional, readable structure.
In text, the hairlines and tight detailing create a bright, glittery texture that reads best when given air through generous sizing and spacing. The ampersand and “Q” introduce a touch of flourish, but the system remains largely disciplined and consistent.
