This serif features pronounced contrast between thick and hairline strokes, with fine, sharply tapered serifs and a generally vertical stress. Capitals are relatively tall and stately with clean, open counters, while the lowercase maintains a measured rhythm and moderate proportions. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are crisp, and the overall color on the page is bright and airy due to the delicacy of the thin strokes.
Well-suited to magazine layouts, book jackets, and sophisticated headline or subhead settings where its contrast can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging that aims for a premium, classic voice, and works nicely for formal announcements when set with comfortable spacing.
The tone is polished and cultivated, projecting a sense of luxury and formality. Its high-contrast detailing and clean construction give it an editorial, fashion-forward presence that feels traditional yet contemporary in finish.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-contrast text and display serif that balances classical proportions with crisp detailing. It prioritizes elegance and typographic sparkle, aiming to deliver a refined voice for editorial and brand-driven typography.
Round forms like O and Q are tightly drawn with elegant hairlines, and the numerals follow the same contrast and refinement, reading best when given sufficient size and spacing. In longer text, the thin horizontals and serifs create a sparkling texture that emphasizes finesse over sturdiness.
