This serif features pronounced stroke contrast with thick verticals and extremely fine hairlines, producing a crisp, etched texture. Serifs are thin and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many joins taper into needle-like terminals. Proportions are noticeably wide with generous sidebearings, while counters remain open and clean. The rhythm is upright and formal, with a strong vertical emphasis and a light, airy presence in the thin strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and large-format quotes where its hairlines can remain visible. It can also work for short pull-quotes or titling in high-end branding when paired with a sturdier text face for body copy.
The overall tone is elegant and high-fashion, with a dramatic, luxurious sparkle that reads as premium and editorial. Its sharp hairlines and wide stance add a poised, sophisticated feel, leaning more refined than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with modern crispness—maximizing elegance and vertical emphasis while keeping forms open and widely proportioned for impactful, airy display typography.
At text sizes the delicate horizontals and serifs create a shimmering line, while the heavier stems keep letterforms stable and authoritative. The digit set matches the same contrast-driven logic, with bold spines and fine finishing strokes that keep the palette consistent.
