A sharply contrasted serif with strong vertical emphasis and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are crisp and mostly unbracketed, with thin, straight terminals that read cleanly at display sizes. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and proportions feel balanced rather than condensed, with a measured rhythm in running text. The lowercase shows a conventional structure with a clear two-storey "g" and "a", a delicate crossbar on "t", and tall, elegant ascenders that reinforce a formal, bookish texture.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, book jackets, and other editorial applications where elegance and contrast are desirable. It also fits premium brand identities and packaging, especially when used in larger sizes where the hairlines and crisp serifs can stay legible and intentional.
The overall tone is polished and formal, evoking luxury publishing and classic print typography. Its high-contrast sparkle and precise details lend a poised, cultivated feel rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-fashion interpretation of classical serif forms, prioritizing visual sophistication and dramatic stroke contrast for impactful typography.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same razor-thin hairlines and firm verticals, producing a bright, shimmering page color in larger settings. The design rewards generous sizes and comfortable leading, where the fine strokes and sharp serifs remain distinct.
