A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and strong vertical stems, producing a crisp, luminous rhythm on the page. Serifs are sharp and tapered with subtle bracketing in places, and terminals often resolve into fine points or small wedges rather than blunt ends. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows compact, disciplined forms with tight apertures and a refined, calligraphic stress. Figures are similarly high-contrast, with delicate curves and slender joins that read best when given adequate size and printing/antialiasing quality.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and book covers where the high contrast can be appreciated. It can work for short-form text in high-quality print or well-rendered digital contexts, but its delicate hairlines suggest using comfortable sizes and avoiding overly small settings or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a distinctly fashion-and-editorial elegance. It projects tradition and sophistication rather than warmth, favoring precision, luxury, and a composed, literary seriousness.
The design intent appears to be a contemporary, high-fashion take on classic modern serif principles: maximize elegance through pronounced contrast, sharp finishing, and controlled proportions. It is built to deliver a premium, polished voice in editorial and branding applications.
The stroke contrast and fine details create a pronounced sparkle in text, with dramatic thick–thin transitions especially visible in curves (C, G, S) and diagonals (V, W, Y). Spacing appears measured and airy in display settings, helping the hairlines stay clear and the serifs remain distinct.
