A delicate serif with striking thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. The serifs are fine and lightly bracketed, with a smooth, calligraphic flow in curved letters and a crisp, engraved feel in straights. Proportions feel spacious and slightly expanded, with high contrast giving counters and joins a bright, airy rhythm. The lowercase shows moderate ascenders and descenders, and the numerals and capitals maintain the same polished, razor-edged finish.
This design suits magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, and luxury branding where contrast and sophistication are key. It can also work for book covers and refined invitations, particularly at sizes that let the hairlines and serifs remain clean and distinct.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking fashion/editorial typography and classic bookish refinement. Its high-contrast sparkle and thin detailing lend a premium, formal voice that feels poised rather than casual.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of classical high-contrast serif construction—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a luminous page color suitable for premium editorial and brand-driven typography.
Hairline horizontals and thin serifs create a shimmering texture in paragraphs, especially around crossbars and joins. The italic is not shown; the presented style reads as a display-leaning roman that emphasizes elegance through contrast and generous spacing.
