A high-contrast serif with crisp verticals and extremely fine hairlines, creating a sharp, shimmering texture at text sizes. Serifs are narrow and pointed with minimal bracketing, and joins resolve cleanly into thin terminals rather than soft transitions. Proportions are classical with a moderate x-height and distinct stroke modulation across rounds and diagonals, giving capitals a stately presence while lowercase remains compact and disciplined. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, reading as formal and display-forward.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and large-scale editorial typography where its contrast and hairlines can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, beauty/fashion materials, and premium packaging where a refined, high-end voice is desired. For longer passages, it performs best with generous size and spacing to preserve the delicate details.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-oriented feel. Strong contrast and razor-thin details convey sophistication and ceremony, while the upright stance keeps it composed and traditional rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast serif conventions: elegant, commanding, and highly legible at display sizes. Its crisp hairlines and pointed serif finishing suggest a focus on sophistication and visual hierarchy for editorial and brand-led compositions.
In running text, the font produces pronounced rhythm through thick–thin alternation and sharp serif accents, which increases sparkle and hierarchy but also demands comfortable sizing and reproduction conditions. The wide mix of internal shapes (especially in rounds and diagonals) creates a lively cadence suited to attention-grabbing typography.
