A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline serifs that read as crisp, lightly bracketed finishing strokes. The design favors vertical stress, tall capitals, and generous interior counters, with narrow hairline crossbars and clean joins that keep forms airy despite the strong contrast. Curves are smooth and controlled, while terminals and serifs end in sharp, tapered points that add sparkle at display sizes. Overall spacing appears measured and even, producing a composed rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine and editorial layouts, and elegant titling where the hairlines and contrast can remain crisp. It can also work for refined invitations, branding wordmarks, and chapter openings, especially when paired with a sturdier text face for longer passages.
The font conveys an editorial, fashion-forward tone—elegant, composed, and slightly dramatic. Its high-contrast structure suggests sophistication and ceremony, making it feel premium and formal without becoming ornate.
This design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast serif—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a confident vertical rhythm for premium typography in print and high-resolution digital settings.
Lowercase forms show a classical, bookish construction with a two-storey “g” and a delicate, compact “e,” while the numerals share the same contrast and sharp finishing, helping text and figures feel stylistically unified. The look is especially striking where long verticals and round letters alternate, creating a lively black-and-white rhythm.
