This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs that stay crisp even at display sizes. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in impression, with clean vertical stress and sculpted joins that emphasize the contrast. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and a lively rhythm, mixing sturdy stems with hairline arms and neatly finished bowls; diagonals and curves (notably in v, w, y, and s) resolve into pointed, calligraphic ends. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven model, reading as classic lining figures with elegant curves and thin cross-strokes.
It performs best in magazines, headlines, and other display-led typography where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It also suits book covers, luxury branding, and pull quotes, and can be used for short text passages when set with comfortable size and spacing.
Overall the font communicates polish and tradition with a fashion-forward edge. The high-contrast drawing and sharp finishing details give it a confident, premium tone that feels at home in refined editorial and brand contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast text serif—balancing traditional proportions with sharper, more editorial detailing for strong presence in modern layouts.
The typeface relies on contrast and delicate horizontals for its character, creating a sparkling texture in text and a strong silhouette in capitals. Curves are smooth and controlled, while terminals often come to precise points, reinforcing a sophisticated, slightly dramatic presence.
