A high-contrast serif with vertical emphasis, crisp hairline joins, and sharply pointed terminals. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation with delicate, flat-leaning serifs and minimal bracketing, giving a clean, incisive finish. Proportions feel slightly expanded with generous internal counters, while the rhythm stays orderly and upright. Curves (O, C, S) are taut and polished, and several capitals show subtle calligraphic tapering that adds sparkle without becoming ornate.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and high-end branding where contrast and sharp detailing can be showcased. It can also work for short, prominent text in packaging and identity systems, especially when set with comfortable spacing and printed at sizes that preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, combining a formal, classical backbone with a dramatic, fashion-forward sheen. Its sharp detailing and bright contrast read as premium and authoritative, suited to designs that want sophistication and a sense of occasion.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-contrast serif voice with strong vertical structure and refined finishing, balancing classic proportions with sharper, more graphic detailing for contemporary editorial and brand use.
In the sample text, the fine hairlines and small joins become a key personality trait, creating a glittery texture at larger sizes and in strong black-on-white settings. Round letters and numerals appear stately and open, while diagonals (V, W, X) and pointed terminals contribute to a crisp, slightly theatrical presence.
