This serif features an extreme thick–thin rhythm with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered joins, producing a refined, glossy texture. Serifs are delicate and mostly bracketed, with pointed, calligraphic terminals appearing on several letters (notably in diagonals and the S). Proportions feel tall and sculpted, with narrow internal counters and a lively modulation that gives each glyph a slightly individualized silhouette while maintaining consistent vertical stress. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin connecting strokes that read best at display sizes.
Well-suited to large-size typography such as headlines, magazine spreads, lookbooks, and refined brand identities where the hairline details can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes, titles, and high-end packaging text when printed or rendered with sufficient resolution and contrast.
The overall tone is formal and high-end, combining classical bookish cues with a fashion-forward, editorial sheen. Its sharp hairlines and polished curves convey sophistication and a sense of drama, making it feel premium and intentional rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-fashion serif voice through pronounced contrast, delicate serifs, and sculptural letterforms. It prioritizes visual elegance and impact in display contexts, aiming for a distinctive, polished presence in editorial and branding applications.
In the text sample, the sparkling contrast creates a bright horizontal shimmer, while the very thin strokes can visually recede in smaller settings or against low-quality reproduction. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) show pronounced tension and crisp transitions, reinforcing the font’s elegant, contemporary-classic character.
