This serif presents sharply tapered, hairline serifs and a pronounced thick–thin pattern that creates a crisp, polished texture. The uppercase forms are stately and open, with smooth, round bowls (C, O) and finely cut terminals, while the lowercase mixes compact, calligraphic details with clean, controlled curves. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate hairlines and weight concentrated on dominant vertical strokes, giving figures a display-ready sparkle. Overall spacing and rhythm feel measured, with a refined baseline presence and clear differentiation between stems, joins, and terminals.
It is well suited to headlines, subheads, and short-form editorial typography where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits luxury-oriented branding applications such as beauty, jewelry, hospitality, and premium packaging, as well as formal invitations or certificates where a classic, elevated voice is desired.
The tone is elegant and editorial, evoking fashion mastheads, luxury packaging, and high-end publishing. Its refined contrast and precise finishing suggest a formal, cultivated voice that feels premium rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a classic text serif: precise, bright, and authoritative, with fine finishing details that elevate titles and curated editorial layouts.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp serifs read as a key feature, producing a bright, engraved-like sheen in headlines and pull quotes. In longer settings the strong contrast emphasizes vertical rhythm and gives the page a sophisticated, magazine-style color.
