A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline serifs. Strokes show a distinctly calligraphic, mostly vertical stress with tapered joins and sharp, wedge-like terminals that keep counters open and forms crisp. Proportions in capitals feel stately and slightly extended, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable rhythm; the overall texture is airy with bright internal spaces and a clean baseline presence. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, mixing sturdy stems with delicate hairlines for a polished, display-ready finish.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where contrast and detail can read clearly—magazine titles, pull quotes, and section headers. It also fits premium branding applications such as beauty, fragrance, jewelry, and boutique packaging, as well as formal invitations and event collateral. For extended text, it will be most effective when set with generous size and spacing to preserve its fine hairlines.
The typeface projects a polished, high-end tone with a fashion-forward edge. Its sharp contrasts and sculpted terminals create a sense of drama and sophistication, lending an upscale, editorial feel without becoming overly ornate. The result is refined and confident, with a contemporary luxury sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with classical roots—combining elegant bookish proportions with sharper, more fashion-oriented detailing. Its consistent stress, keen terminals, and controlled spacing suggest an emphasis on clarity and sophistication for headline-led typography.
In longer sample text, the thin strokes and serifs contribute to a sparkling page color and a crisp, engraved-like impression at larger sizes. The ampersand and punctuation echo the same knife-edge detailing, reinforcing a cohesive, carefully finished character across the set.
