This serif typeface uses sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, creating a clean, high-contrast texture across lines. Stems tend to be upright with a mostly vertical stress, while curves show delicate hairlines that taper into pointed terminals. Capitals feel expansive and stately with generous internal space, and the lowercase is comparatively small, giving the design a distinctly top-heavy rhythm. Overall spacing reads open, and the letterforms maintain a crisp, engraved-like clarity in both display capitals and text settings.
Best suited for display typography where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated, such as headlines, editorial titling, and luxury-leaning branding. It can also work for short blocks of refined text (pull quotes, front matter, packaging copy) when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and ceremonial, with a fashion/editorial polish and a slightly theatrical contrast. Its slender hairlines and poised proportions suggest tradition and formality, while the sharp detailing adds a sense of drama and sophistication.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern take on a classical high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama. Its proportions and delicate serifs aim to create a premium, formal voice for titles and brand-facing typography.
The design’s fine horizontals and thin connecting strokes are a prominent visual feature, especially in rounded letters and numerals, where the hairlines create a delicate, ornamental edge. The sample text shows a bright page color and strong sparkle, with capitals asserting prominence over the smaller lowercase.
