A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. The forms feel wide and open, with generous counters and smooth, sculpted curves that taper into sharp, clean terminals. Serifs are fine and neatly bracketed, and the overall construction reads upright and composed, with strong vertical stress and a refined, print-like rhythm. Uppercase shows authoritative, display-ready proportions, while lowercase maintains a traditional text-serif structure with clear bowls and sturdy stems.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and other editorial settings where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from an elegant, high-impact serif. For long passages, it will be most comfortable when set with adequate size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The typeface conveys a polished, editorial tone—elegant and premium with a dramatic, high-fashion edge. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing suggest sophistication and formality, while the broad proportions keep it feeling confident and modern rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif for display-led typography, balancing traditional serif structure with bold, polished presence. Its wide stance and precise finishing suggest a focus on sophisticated, attention-grabbing compositions in modern layouts.
In larger sizes the hairlines and tapered joins become a key visual feature, creating a striking sparkle across lines of text. The numerals follow the same contrasty, sculpted logic and read well as part of refined typographic compositions.
