A delicate, high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and firm, tapered serifs that read as mostly bracketed and cleanly cut. The design leans on vertical stress in round letters and keeps stems straight and poised, while allowing generous, sculpted curves in bowls and terminals. Uppercase proportions feel stately with wide, open counters (notably in C, O, Q), and the lowercase maintains a measured rhythm with relatively narrow joins and crisp entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same sharp contrast and look comfortable in display settings, with slender diagonals and refined curves.
Best suited to editorial typography where refinement and contrast are desirable—magazine titles, pull quotes, chapter openers, and book or report covers. It also fits luxury branding applications such as beauty, jewelry, hospitality, and packaging, especially at medium to large sizes where the hairlines and sculpted curves can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, suggesting an editorial sensibility associated with fashion, culture, and high-end publishing. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing convey sophistication and formality, with a calm, confident presence rather than a rustic or playful voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-contrast text serif feel with an emphasis on elegance and clarity in display-led editorial use. Its controlled proportions and crisp serifs aim to balance classical letterform cues with a clean, contemporary finish.
At text sizes the hairlines may feel delicate, while at larger sizes the sharp modulation and tapered serifs become a defining feature. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent upright texture with pronounced sparkle from the thin strokes and open spacing.
