A sharply drawn serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and long, delicate hairlines. Serifs are fine and crisp, with a modern, polished finish and smooth, continuous curves in round letters. Proportions feel slightly high-waisted, with narrow joins and a clean vertical emphasis; the italic is not shown, and the roman maintains a steady, formal rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast, display-oriented construction, producing a bright, luxurious texture at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine and book titling, and high-end branding where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages at comfortable sizes in print or high-resolution settings, but it visually performs most confidently when given room to breathe.
The overall tone is sophisticated and poised, evoking editorial typography and luxury branding. Its sparkle and precision read as formal and cultivated rather than casual or rugged.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: elegant, precise, and visually striking. Its refined detailing and strong vertical structure suggest a focus on premium editorial and brand applications rather than utilitarian text settings.
In continuous text the thin strokes and fine serifs create a lively, shimmering color, while the heavier verticals provide structure and authority. The font’s character is driven by the tension between sharp hairlines and robust stems, giving it a distinctly dressy presence.
