A refined serif with pronounced vertical stress and strong thick–thin modulation. Stems are sturdy while cross-strokes and serifs taper to fine hairlines, creating a bright, crisp texture. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed-to-unbracketed in feel, with clean terminals and carefully drawn joins. The lowercase shows compact, well-contained bowls and a slightly calligraphic influence in letters like a, g, and y, while capitals maintain a stately, inscription-like stance. Numerals echo the same contrast and include delicate entry/exit strokes that read clearly at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and large-size editorial typography where contrast and elegance are desirable. It can also support upscale branding, packaging, and invitation work that benefits from a classic, high-fashion serif voice. For longer reading, it is most convincing in comfortable sizes and with generous spacing to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is elegant and formal, with a fashionable, editorial sparkle. High contrast and needle-like details give it a dramatic, upscale character that feels at home in luxury and cultural contexts rather than utilitarian settings.
Likely designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif look with modern crispness—combining stately capitals, clean hairline serifs, and slightly ornamental lowercase shapes to create a distinctive display personality that still behaves like a traditional text serif.
The face’s thin features and sharp serifs create a lively rhythm and strong letter separation, but the finest hairlines suggest it will look best when given enough size or printing/screen conditions that preserve detail. The sample text shows a distinctive, slightly ornamental flavor without becoming overly eccentric, keeping readability intact for short passages and headlines.
