This serif displays pronounced stroke contrast with thin hairlines and sturdy vertical stems, creating a crisp, sparkling texture on the page. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many joins resolve into clean, tapered terminals rather than rounded endings. Proportions feel classically built with a relatively modest x-height, long ascenders, and generous counters; the overall rhythm is calm and upright with a distinctly vertical stress in curved letters. Spacing reads open and airy, helping the delicate horizontal elements and thin diagonals stay legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where its hairline details can be appreciated—magazine titles, pull quotes, posters, and luxury branding. It can also work for short blocks of text in print or high-resolution digital settings when set with comfortable size and leading.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its sharpness and contrast lend a sense of formality and drama that feels at home in fashion, culture, and high-end branding contexts.
The design intent appears to be a modern, high-fashion serif that emphasizes contrast, refinement, and typographic sparkle. It aims to deliver a premium, editorial voice with crisp detail and controlled, upright structure.
Round forms show a refined modulation, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X) appear especially slender, contributing to a light, incisive color. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, producing an elegant figure style that visually harmonizes with uppercase headings and mixed-case text.
