This serif features sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, creating a crisp, polished texture. Capitals are broad and stately with clean vertical stress and tapered joins, while rounds like O and Q show sculpted contrast and tight, glossy curves. The lowercase keeps a conventional text structure with a moderate x-height, narrow apertures, and distinctive bulb/ball terminals in letters like a, f, j, and y. Numerals follow the same glossy contrast, with a mix of straight, chiseled strokes and curving bowls that read as display-oriented rather than purely utilitarian.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling where the hairline serifs and dramatic contrast can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, fashion/beauty packaging, event materials, and editorial layouts that benefit from a refined, high-impact serif voice.
The overall tone is luxe and editorial, with a poised, fashion-forward sophistication. Its sharp contrast and delicate details feel premium and theatrical, suggesting high-end publishing and branding rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale, modern-classic serif impression with strong contrast and crisp detailing for impactful display typography. It balances traditional serif construction with stylized terminals to feel contemporary and distinctive.
In paragraph settings the strong contrast produces a lively rhythm, with vertical stems forming a clear cadence and hairline serifs adding sparkle at larger sizes. Some glyphs show expressive finishing—curved terminals and pronounced tapers—giving the face a slightly mannered, boutique personality.
