A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and very fine hairline horizontals that create a crisp, sparkling texture in text. Serifs are delicate and sharply cut, with a mostly unbracketed, modern finish and pointed details at joins and terminals. The capitals feel stately and proportionally balanced, while the lowercase shows a lively rhythm driven by narrow hairlines and compact curves; the two-storey “a” and “g” read as classic book-style forms. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin crossbars and sturdy main strokes that keep figures clear at display sizes.
Well suited to magazine and editorial design, fashion and beauty branding, and other display-led applications where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also work for short passages and captions when set with comfortable size and spacing, especially in high-quality print or sharp on-screen rendering.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, leaning toward contemporary luxury while retaining a classical, literary sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and clean finishing give it a poised, formal voice suited to sophisticated headlines and carefully set text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-contrast reading experience with a luxe, print-oriented sheen—combining classical serif construction with clean, sharply finished details for contemporary editorial typography.
In longer sample text, the thin horizontals and fine serifs create a bright, delicate color that benefits from generous size and good reproduction. The design’s crisp edges and pronounced contrast make it especially striking in titles, pull quotes, and settings where the typography is meant to feel precise and intentional.
