A finely drawn serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. The design pairs razor-thin hairlines and serifs with fuller main stems, creating a crisp, high-clarity rhythm in both display capitals and text. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with a generally restrained, clean finish; curves are smooth and generously rounded while joins stay controlled. Proportions feel balanced and bookish rather than condensed, with clear counters and a tidy, consistent baseline presence across letters and numerals.
This font is well suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent typographic moments where contrast and refinement are assets. It fits editorial layouts, magazine and lookbook design, and upscale branding applications such as fashion, beauty, and premium packaging—especially at sizes where the hairlines can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking contemporary editorial typography with a classic foundation. Its high-contrast sparkle reads as luxurious and fashion-forward, while the calm, upright construction keeps it composed and serious.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a traditional text serif: strong vertical structure, brilliant contrast, and carefully sharpened details for an elevated, curated voice. It prioritizes elegance and typographic drama while maintaining orderly, conventional letterforms for familiar readability.
Capital forms present a dignified presence with carefully managed weight distribution, while the lowercase maintains an even texture that still shows the high-contrast sheen. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with slender diagonals and hairline terminals that emphasize a premium, print-oriented feel.
