A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty main strokes, showing a distinctly calligraphic stress and finely sharpened serifs. The letterforms are relatively wide and open, with generous counters and a poised, upright stance. Serifs are thin and pointed with subtle bracketing, and several glyphs show tapered, knife-like terminals; the lowercase features a two-storey g and compact, slightly angular joins that keep the rhythm taut. Figures appear lining with pronounced contrast, and the overall spacing reads airy yet controlled, supporting large sizes where hairlines can stay visible.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display typography in editorial and brand contexts. It also works well for fashion and beauty identities, packaging, and refined event materials where a crisp, high-contrast serif can carry a premium voice; extended body text is more appropriate at comfortable sizes and with sufficient rendering quality.
The font communicates a polished, high-end tone—confident and formal with a touch of theatrical contrast. Its sharp detailing and glossy modulation suggest luxury, culture, and editorial authority rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, luxurious interpretation of a classic text serif: wide, open proportions paired with dramatic stroke contrast and finely cut details. Its construction prioritizes visual sophistication and strong headline presence while maintaining conventional letterform structure for familiar readability.
In text, the extreme contrast and fine serifs create a sparkling texture that favors clean printing or high-resolution display. Curves (notably in S, C, and e) feel sculpted and slightly tensioned, while letters like W and M bring strong, graphic peaks that emphasize a sophisticated, contemporary-classic presence.
