A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, hairline horizontals, and crisp, tapered serifs. The capitals read tall and stately with generous interior space in round forms, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and a slightly calligraphic rhythm driven by steeply thinned joins. Serifs are fine and often wedge-like, with sharp, clean terminals that give the outlines a cut, engraved feel. Overall spacing and proportions feel text-ready but with a distinctly display-leaning sparkle from the extreme contrast and delicate details.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where high contrast can read cleanly at larger sizes. It also fits luxury-oriented branding, invitations, and book or journal titling where a refined, classical voice is desired; in longer passages it will benefit from comfortable sizes and good reproduction to preserve the hairlines.
The typeface projects a polished, upscale tone—cool, composed, and fashion-forward. Its glittering hairlines and sculpted serifs add drama and sophistication, making even straightforward copy feel formal and curated.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, modern-seriffed elegance with dramatic contrast and precise finishing. It prioritizes sophistication and impact, balancing traditional text-serif proportions with display-level sharpness and shine.
Round letters such as O, Q, and 8 show smooth, symmetrical construction with minimal visible stress, while diagonal shapes (V, W, X, Y) emphasize sharpness through narrow joins and pointed endings. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin cross-strokes and strong verticals that keep the set consistent in mixed editorial typography.
