A high-contrast serif with crisp, mostly unbracketed hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Curves are smooth and taut, with teardrop terminals and a polished, engraved feel in details like the ball on the 'j' and the pointed joins on letters such as 'v' and 'w'. Proportions read slightly expanded, giving capitals and round letters generous width and a stately rhythm, while spacing stays controlled and even in text. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same sharp contrast and clean, vertical stress, producing a distinctly glossy, print-forward texture.
This font excels in display contexts such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where its sharp contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It also suits elegant packaging and invitations, and can work for short editorial subheads or captions when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-fashion, projecting luxury and formality without feeling decorative. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing lend a confident, editorial voice suited to premium branding and cultivated headlines.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-contrast text serif that channels classic modern-serifs for premium, editorial typography. It prioritizes a striking silhouette, crisp finishing, and a composed rhythm to deliver a luxurious, authoritative impression.
The design favors crisp geometry and clean joins over softness, with distinctive triangular serifs and fine hairlines that create sparkle at larger sizes. In denser settings the contrast produces a dramatic light–dark pattern, so it reads best where that sheen is an asset rather than a distraction.
