A high-contrast serif with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, crisp hairline serifs, and predominantly vertical stress. The capitals feel tall and dignified with sharp terminals, while the lowercase combines compact forms with teardrop/ball terminals and occasional gently cupped or tapered stroke endings. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are cleanly carved, and the overall texture alternates between sturdy stems and very fine connecting strokes for a bright, elegant page color at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its hairlines and contrast can stay intact—magazine titles, editorial headlines, book and album covers, beauty/luxury branding, and formal invitations. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads when set with generous size and comfortable spacing, but it’s less ideal for dense body text in challenging printing or screen conditions.
The font projects an editorial, fashion-forward sophistication—polished, dramatic, and traditional in tone. Its sharp contrast and delicate details create a sense of luxury and ceremony, lending headlines a confident, curated presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic, high-fashion serif voice: strong vertical structure for authority, paired with refined hairlines and elegant terminals for glamour. It aims to create a premium, attention-grabbing typographic texture while maintaining traditional serif proportions and readability at larger sizes.
Some letters show lively detailing (notably the ball terminals on forms like j and y, and the crisp, thin cross-strokes), which adds sparkle but can become fragile at small sizes or in low-resolution reproduction. Numerals echo the same contrast and tapering, with an old-style elegance that pairs naturally with the serifed letterforms.
