A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Uppercase forms are stately and open, with strong vertical stress and clean, sharp terminals; curves show bright, teardrop-like thinning where strokes transition. Lowercase maintains a conventional text structure with a moderate x-height, compact counters, and clear differentiation between rounds and stems. Overall spacing reads slightly generous, giving the design an airy, polished rhythm in both display and larger text settings.
It works especially well for editorial design, magazine typography, and sophisticated headlines where high contrast can be showcased. The classic construction also suits book covers and refined branding when a traditional yet striking serif voice is desired.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone associated with fashion and literary publishing. Its sparkling contrast and knife-thin details create a sense of luxury and drama, while the traditional proportions keep it grounded and familiar.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing elegance and crisp typographic sparkle. It prioritizes refined details and a polished rhythm for upscale display and editorial contexts.
The numerals and capitals share the same crisp contrast and finely tapered details, producing a consistent color across mixed-case settings. The sharp, delicate serifs and thin joins make the design feel best suited to sizes and output where fine strokes can be preserved.
