A crisp, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and extremely thin hairlines. Stems are sturdy and straight while joins and entry strokes taper sharply into needle-like terminals, creating a bright, sparkling texture. Serifs are delicate and largely unbracketed, with fine, razor-thin horizontals on E/F/T and slender diagonal strokes on V/W/X. Proportions are slightly narrow-to-moderate with tall capitals, and the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure with compact bowls and clean, controlled curves.
Best suited to display typography where its hairlines and sharp contrast can be appreciated: magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, invitations, and large-format posters. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling in print and high-resolution digital settings where fine strokes won’t break down.
The overall tone is polished and luxe, with a distinctly editorial and runway sensibility. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing suggest sophistication and ceremony, leaning toward classic European fashion and museum-catalog aesthetics rather than casual or utilitarian use.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif voice, prioritizing elegance, sparkle, and a refined page color. The aim seems to be premium, attention-grabbing typography with a disciplined, classical structure and modern crispness.
The design’s thin connecting strokes and hairline serifs make spacing and rhythm feel airy, while the heavier verticals keep forms anchored and legible at display sizes. Numerals echo the same high-contrast logic, with graceful curves and fine terminals that read as formal and carefully drawn.
