A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, thick main stems, and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are thin, crisp, and largely unbracketed, giving strokes a clean, cut-in look and a bright, airy page color in text. Proportions are fairly tall and stately in the capitals, while the lowercase maintains a measured x-height with delicate joins and tapered terminals; the italic is not shown, and the upright forms dominate with a refined, controlled rhythm. Figures follow the same contrast logic, with bold verticals and slender connecting strokes that read best with generous spacing.
Well-suited to display typography such as magazine titles, editorial headlines, and book-cover lettering where its contrast can read as intentional elegance. It also fits premium branding and formal materials like invitations and certificates, particularly when set with comfortable letterspacing and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, projecting a sense of fashion, literature, and formality. Its sharp contrast and polished detailing feel ceremonial and sophisticated rather than casual, with an emphasis on refinement and visual drama.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern-classical, high-contrast serif voice with dramatic thick–thin relationships and crisp, unbracketed finishing. Its intention is to provide a refined display tool that remains coherent in short text while prioritizing sophistication and visual impact.
The design’s very thin horizontals and serifs create strong sparkle and sharp definition, especially at larger sizes. In longer passages, the contrast produces a distinctive, luxurious texture where thick verticals lead and hairlines recede, so clear printing or high-resolution rendering will help preserve the finest details.
