A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a clear vertical axis. Hairline horizontals and delicate, sharp serifs sit against relatively sturdier vertical stems, giving the letterforms a crisp, polished rhythm. Proportions are relatively compact with tall capitals and a moderate x-height; counters stay open, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are smoothly tensioned with clean terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with slender joins and elegant, slightly calligraphic modulation.
Best suited to fashion and lifestyle branding, magazine headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast and hairlines can be appreciated. It can also work for elegant invitations or premium packaging text when set with generous size and comfortable leading.
The overall tone feels poised and cultivated, projecting a classic editorial elegance. Its thin details and taut geometry read as premium and formal, suited to sophisticated, image-conscious typography rather than utilitarian UI text.
The font appears intended to deliver a modern-classic, high-fashion serif voice: crisp, bright, and formal, emphasizing refinement through strong contrast, vertical stress, and precise finishing.
The design leans on fine details—particularly hairline crossbars and serifs—which heighten sparkle in larger sizes but can become fragile when reduced or placed on complex backgrounds. Spacing appears measured and even in text, supporting a calm, orderly typographic color.
