A refined, high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and crisp, bracketed serifs that taper to sharp points. The letterforms show a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and smooth, slightly calligraphic modulation, giving round letters a polished, sculpted feel. Uppercase proportions read stately and controlled, while the lowercase maintains a clean text rhythm with compact counters and neatly finished terminals; numerals follow the same elegant contrast and delicate finishing.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine typography where contrast and finesse can shine. It also fits premium brand identities, beauty and luxury packaging, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs.
The overall tone is cultured and luxurious, with a poised, editorial sensibility. Its sharp serifs and gleaming hairlines evoke fashion, publishing, and premium branding rather than utilitarian typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif—balancing traditional structure with crisp, fashion-forward finishing. It prioritizes elegance and typographic sparkle for display and editorial settings.
Curves are drawn with an emphasis on smooth continuity and fine exit strokes, producing a bright, sparkling texture at larger sizes. The design’s thin features and pointed terminals make spacing and line breaks feel precise and intentional, especially in headlines and short text blocks.
