A crisp serif with strong thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharply cut, reading as lightly bracketed hairlines rather than slabs, and the overall drawing favors clean, tapered joins with narrow pinched transitions. Uppercase forms feel stately and evenly proportioned with generous interior space, while the lowercase maintains a measured rhythm with compact bowls and precise terminals. Numerals are slender and display-like, with distinctive curves and delicate finishing strokes that keep the texture lively at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and brand touchpoints where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry a premium voice. It also works well for invitations and formal communications, especially when set with ample leading and thoughtful tracking.
The font conveys a polished, cultured tone associated with fashion, publishing, and formal stationery. Its razor-sharp contrast and restrained detailing suggest sophistication and ceremony, balancing classic bookishness with a modern, high-end edge.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif interpreted through a high-contrast, display-leaning lens—prioritizing elegance, crispness, and a sophisticated page color for contemporary editorial and branding work.
In running text the fine serifs and hairline horizontals create a bright, sparkling texture that benefits from comfortable point sizes and good reproduction. The letterforms maintain a consistent axis and cadence, with occasional calligraphic gestures in curved characters that add personality without becoming decorative.
