This serif typeface shows a strong vertical axis with extreme thick–thin modulation, pairing razor-thin hairlines with firm, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with clean, tapered terminals and a polished, engraved feel. Uppercase forms are tall and stately, while lowercase characters are relatively narrow with long ascenders and deep descenders, creating a lively, vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, and round letters read as crisp ovals with fine connecting hairlines, producing a distinctly high-end, high-contrast texture in text.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, decks, pull quotes, and elegant titling where the high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It also fits fashion, beauty, and luxury branding applications, and works well for sophisticated packaging or invitations when set with generous spacing and high-quality output.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a quietly dramatic sparkle from the hairline details. It feels formal and premium rather than casual, projecting sophistication and precision.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic, high-fashion serif voice with a modern, polished finish—maximizing contrast and hairline sharpness to create an upscale, attention-grabbing presence in large sizes.
In continuous text the thin connecting strokes and hairline serifs become a defining feature, giving paragraphs a bright, shimmering color and pronounced vertical cadence. Numerals match the style with sharp contrast and elegant shaping, aligning well with the refined letterforms.
