A refined display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, unbracketed serifs. The design shows strong vertical stress, needle-like hairlines, and sculpted curves with a clean, polished finish. Capitals are tall and poised with generous whitespace, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and a calligraphic, slightly tapered rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with delicate joins and open counters that maintain an airy, high-end texture in setting.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand moments where elegance and contrast are the primary goals. It performs especially well at display sizes for titles, pull quotes, invitations, and premium packaging, where its hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated without breaking down.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with the kind of cultivated sharpness associated with high-fashion and premium editorial typography. Its calm upright stance and gleaming hairlines read as formal, sophisticated, and intentionally glamorous rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design intention appears to be a modern, high-contrast serif for elevated display typography—prioritizing sophistication, drama, and a crisp typographic voice over ruggedness or small-size text economy.
Stroke endings are consistently fine and sharp, with minimal rounding, which heightens the sense of precision. In the text sample, the lively alternation between thick stems and hairline connections creates a sparkling texture; spacing feels open and measured, helping the thin details remain legible at larger sizes.
