This serif features a striking thick–thin rhythm with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered joins, creating a crisp, polished texture. Serifs are fine and bracketed only minimally, reading as precise terminals rather than heavy supports. Capitals are tall and stately with narrow internal apertures and smooth, swelling curves; rounds like C, O, and Q show clean, controlled modulation. Lowercase forms are compact and steady, with a two-storey a and g, slim entry strokes, and small, neat dots on i and j. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate crossbars and pointed terminals that keep the overall silhouette sharp and dressy.
This font is well suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial display settings where high contrast can read as intentional sophistication. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and formal stationery, especially when set with generous tracking and ample whitespace.
The overall tone is formal and high-end, evoking fashion publishing and classic book typography where contrast and poise are central. Its sparkle and tension feel ceremonial and premium, more about display sophistication than casual neutrality.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice with strong vertical emphasis and dramatic contrast, aiming for refinement and visual sparkle in display typography. The consistent modulation and sharp terminals suggest an intention to feel contemporary-polished while remaining rooted in traditional serif conventions.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and tight stroke transitions, producing a bright, shimmering page color at larger sizes. Curved letters show consistent stress and smooth contouring, while diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y) keep thin connecting strokes that emphasize the font’s refined, brittle elegance.
