A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp hairline serifs, and a predominantly vertical stress. Capitals are statuesque with clean joins and tapered terminals, while the lowercase keeps a measured, traditional rhythm and moderate x-height. Curves (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of a/b/d/p/q) are smooth and tightly controlled, and the overall color on the page is bright and airy due to fine horizontals and slender stems. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with sharp entry/exit strokes and clear baseline alignment.
Well-suited to magazine covers, editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and upscale packaging where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It performs best at display sizes where hairlines and sharp serifs can remain clear and intentional.
The font conveys a polished, upscale tone associated with editorial typography and luxury branding. Its delicate hairlines and dramatic contrast feel poised and formal, bringing a sense of ceremony and sophistication to headlines and display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial take on classic high-contrast serif construction: dramatic modulation, disciplined proportions, and a clean, premium finish optimized for attention-grabbing titles and elegant brand typography.
In text, the strong contrast creates sparkling highlights and pronounced vertical rhythm, while the very thin crossbars and serifs give a precise, high-fashion finish. Letterforms like the spurred G and the crisp diagonal strokes in K/V/W/X add a slightly assertive edge within an otherwise restrained, classic voice.
