A sharply modeled serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline detailing. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with a slightly flared, calligraphic feel where stems meet terminals. Uppercase forms are stately and high-waisted with clean, sculpted curves, while the lowercase keeps a traditional structure and moderate proportions, producing an elegant rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate joins and crisp finishing strokes that read best when given room to breathe.
Well suited to magazine typography, lookbooks, and other editorial layouts where elegance and contrast are desirable. It excels for headlines, pull quotes, title pages, and premium branding applications, and can work for shorter text passages when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, leaning toward high-end editorial and fashion sensibilities. Its combination of razor-thin details and confident main strokes conveys refinement, ceremony, and a sense of timelessness rather than casual everyday utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: dramatic modulation, refined serifs, and carefully shaped curves that prioritize elegance and impact in display and editorial contexts.
At larger sizes the font’s delicate hairlines and sharp joins become a defining feature, creating sparkle and a refined texture. In dense settings, the thin horizontals and terminals can visually recede compared to the dominant vertical strokes, so spacing and size will strongly influence readability and color.
