This serif shows a crisp, high-contrast construction with hairline serifs and fine connecting strokes set against fuller verticals. Curves are smooth and open, with a controlled, contemporary rhythm and clean terminals that keep the forms sharp rather than soft. Capitals feel spacious and stately, while the lowercase maintains a clear, readable structure with modest modulation and neatly finished joins. Numerals follow the same contrast and refinement, with sculpted curves and tapered details that read well at display sizes.
Best suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where contrast and elegance are an asset. It can also support premium branding, lookbooks, and poster work, especially when set at medium to large sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a slightly dramatic sparkle from the sharp serifs and contrast. It feels formal without being ornate, projecting confidence, taste, and modern luxury.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice: sharp, refined, and highly contrasted, balancing classic text-serif structure with display-level glamour for contemporary publishing and brand applications.
Pointed apexes and tapered stroke endings create a precise, cut-paper look in diagonals and curved letters, and the punctuation and dots appear small and crisp to match the delicate detailing. The design’s finesse suggests it will be most convincing where its thin strokes can be reproduced cleanly.
