A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and extremely fine hairlines, producing a crisp, sparkling texture. Serifs are thin and sharp with minimal bracketing, and curves show a pronounced vertical stress in round letters. Proportions lean toward elegant display settings: capitals feel stately and slightly narrow, while lowercase forms show lively modulation with a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and a long-descender “y.” Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast model, with delicate joins and thin horizontal elements that emphasize the vertical rhythm.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and high-impact posters. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck copy where the contrast and fine detailing are allowed to show clearly at a comfortable size.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, with a dramatic contrast that signals luxury and editorial authority. It reads as fashion-forward and formal, balancing classic bookish cues with a contemporary, high-end sheen.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif: maximizing elegance through vertical emphasis, razor-thin serifs, and sculpted curves that read crisply in prominent settings.
The typeface’s thin hairlines create a bright, airy countershape in larger sizes, while the heavy verticals anchor lines of text with a pronounced, column-like cadence. In mixed-case settings the rhythm alternates between bold stems and hairline connectors, giving headlines a distinctive, dynamic sparkle.
