This serif displays pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp hairline serifs and a predominantly vertical stress. Uppercase forms feel stately and sculpted, with sharp terminals, clean joins, and strong contrast that creates a glittering texture at larger sizes. The lowercase keeps a relatively traditional structure with a moderate x-height, open counters, and tapered strokes that become extremely fine at curves and link points. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, reading as elegant and display-oriented with delicate horizontals and thin connectors.
It is well suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine mastheads, and brand marks where the high contrast can read as intentional and premium. It can also work for short-form editorial typography and packaging fronts, especially when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a sense of formality. Its sharp hairlines and dramatic modulation communicate sophistication and ceremony rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classical high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and strong typographic presence in display settings.
In text settings the thin strokes and serifs create a lively, sparkling rhythm, while the heavier verticals provide a strong baseline of solidity. The design’s delicacy becomes especially apparent in diagonals and curved letters, where hairlines narrow to near-calligraphic fineness.
