A refined high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-fine hairlines. Vertical stems are strong and straight while curves taper sharply into delicate, bracketless-looking terminals, creating a crisp, luminous rhythm at display sizes. Serifs are narrow and precise, and many joins resolve into pointed wedges or thin flares, giving the outlines a chiseled, stylized finish. Proportions feel balanced with a relatively modest x-height and generous counters, while overall spacing stays even and composed across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand-led applications where high contrast can read cleanly and add prestige. It works well for luxury positioning in fashion, beauty, and cultural editorial layouts, and can shine in pull quotes, titles, and packaging where sharp detail is preserved.
The font projects an editorial, high-fashion tone—polished, poised, and a little theatrical. Its sharp contrast and precise detailing suggest luxury and sophistication, with a confident, contemporary sheen that still nods to classic bookish formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, luxurious serif voice through extreme contrast and meticulously sharpened terminals. It prioritizes visual drama and elegance over neutrality, aiming to elevate titles and editorial typography with a distinctly premium presence.
In the sample text, the hairlines and thin serifs become a defining feature, producing a striking sparkle but also making the design feel most at home at larger sizes or in high-quality reproduction. The numerals share the same dramatic contrast and crisp finishing, helping headlines and pull-quotes maintain a consistent, premium voice.
