A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, crisp hairline serifs, and strong thick–thin modulation. The capitals are stately and formal with sharp apexes and clean, unbracketed serifs, while the lowercase balances a moderate x-height with tall ascenders and compact counters. Curves are smooth and controlled, joins stay tight, and terminals tend toward fine, tapered finishes, giving the whole design an airy, polished texture in text and a striking shimmer at larger sizes.
Best suited to magazines, fashion and culture branding, book covers, and high-end headings where its contrast can read as intentional and luxurious. It can also work for pull quotes and short passages in print or high-resolution contexts, provided sizes and spacing preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is sophisticated and cultivated, evoking luxury editorial typography and classic bookish refinement. Its bright hairlines and disciplined geometry lend a poised, somewhat dramatic voice that feels formal without becoming ornate.
Designed to deliver a modern, editorial take on a classic high-contrast serif: sharp, clean, and luminous on the page. The intent appears focused on elegance and authority, with letterforms tuned for impactful display and refined typographic voice.
Letterforms show consistent contrast behavior across rounds and straights, with particularly thin cross-strokes and delicate serifs that create a light, sparkling rhythm. Numerals share the same calligraphic contrast and feel display-forward, especially in large settings where hairlines remain visually prominent.
