A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The forms lean toward a vertical stress with smooth, rounded bowls and finely tapered joins, giving the letters a polished, high-contrast rhythm. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase keeps a measured, bookish texture with slender stems, compact details, and clean, sharp terminals. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with thin entry strokes and graceful curves that read best at moderate to large sizes.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and book covers where high-contrast serif elegance is desirable. It also fits luxury branding and display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and packaging, especially when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, projecting a contemporary-classic luxury feel. Its sparkle and restraint suggest editorial refinement rather than warmth, with a quiet formality that suits premium, carefully composed typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice with clean structure and dramatic contrast, prioritizing sophistication and visual sparkle over rugged, utilitarian readability at small sizes.
Spacing appears airy and controlled, enhancing the font’s light, glossy color on the page. The design favors smooth continuity in curves (notably in rounds like O/C/e) paired with razor-thin horizontals, creating a distinctive ‘sheen’ typical of modern high-contrast serifs.
