A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and hairline-like with minimal bracketing, giving terminals a crisp, cut-paper feel. Capitals are stately and wide-set with generous interior space; the thin horizontals on letters like E and F read as delicate rules against sturdy verticals. The lowercase keeps a traditional book-seriffed structure with a two-storey a and g, narrow joins, and fine entry/exit strokes that sharpen rhythm without becoming calligraphic. Numerals echo the same contrast and fineness, with open shapes and precise hairline details.
Well suited to display applications such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand wordmarks where the contrast can read clearly. It also fits premium packaging, invitations, and cover typography, especially when printed well or used at larger sizes. For long-running body text, it will typically perform best in high-quality reproduction where hairlines won’t break up.
The overall tone is polished and formal, leaning toward editorial sophistication and luxury branding. The sharp serifs and taut contrast add drama and refinement, producing a distinctly “fashion magazine” kind of authority. It feels classic rather than playful, with an elevated, premium voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern interpretation of classical high-contrast serif ideals: sharp serifs, vertical emphasis, and a bright, elegant texture. Its proportions and detailing suggest a focus on sophisticated display typography that still remains legible and structured in paragraph settings when sized appropriately.
In text, the thins become a defining feature and can appear fragile at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output, while larger settings emphasize the elegant sparkle and crisp texture. Spacing appears measured and slightly open, supporting a clean, high-end typographic color in display and short passages.
