A high-contrast serif with vertical stress and crisp, hairline-thin connections against sturdy main stems. Serifs are fine and pointed, giving terminals a sharp, polished finish rather than a soft or heavily bracketed feel. The proportions read on the wide side, with open counters and clear internal space, while rhythm stays measured and formal. Letterforms show a pronounced thick–thin modulation across rounds (O, C, G) and diagonals (V, W, X), producing a bright, engraved texture in larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It fits fashion, luxury, editorial, and cultural packaging contexts, and works well for posters and invitations that benefit from a formal, refined voice.
The overall tone is upscale and editorial, projecting confidence and formality with a fashion-forward, display-oriented sparkle. Its sharp detailing and contrast add drama and sophistication, evoking a premium, curated voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing sophistication and impact through strong verticals, delicate hairlines, and crisp serif detailing. It aims for a premium look that stands out in display typography while keeping a traditional typographic backbone.
In the grid, numerals and capitals carry the strongest presence, with the figure set appearing similarly contrasty and stylized. The lowercase includes classic, readable shapes with a sturdy baseline presence, while fine joins and delicate hairlines create a lively shimmer in text settings at larger sizes.
