A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline details. The letterforms show vertical stress in rounded shapes and a poised, upright stance, with narrow joins and delicate, bracketed serifs that end in sharp, tapered terminals. Capitals are stately and sculpted, while the lowercase balances compact bowls with slender stems; the overall rhythm is lively but controlled, with strong contrast creating a polished sparkle in text. Numerals match the text color with similarly high modulation and elegant curves.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and display typography where its contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It also fits upscale editorial design, book and journal covers, and brand identities that need a classic, cultivated feel. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable in well-printed or high-resolution contexts where hairlines remain intact.
The font conveys an elevated, literary tone—formal, fashion-leaning, and quietly luxurious. Its high-contrast construction and sharp finishing give it a dramatic, sophisticated voice suited to premium editorial settings rather than utilitarian typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a traditional, high-contrast text serif—prioritizing elegance and typographic refinement with crisp detailing and a confident, upright structure for editorial and brand-forward applications.
Curves are drawn with fine, precise hairlines that accentuate counters and apertures, and several glyphs include subtly calligraphic entry/exit strokes that add movement without becoming ornamental. The overall texture reads crisp at display sizes, with delicate features that will visually dominate when set large.
