A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a distinctly calligraphic, engraved rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharply cut with subtle bracketing, and terminals often end in tapered, pointed forms rather than blunt cuts. Curves show pronounced vertical stress (notably in O/C and the numerals), while diagonals in V/W/X and the arms of K/Y remain elegant and slender. Lowercase forms are compact and crisp, with a single-storey g and a narrow, pointed-shoulder r; counters are relatively tight, emphasizing sparkle and contrast in text.
This style suits editorial typography, magazine titles, book and journal covers, and other display-led settings where contrast and refinement are assets. It also fits luxury and premium branding materials and formal printed pieces such as invitations, where sharp detail can be reproduced cleanly and large sizes let the hairline work shine.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a classic bookish undercurrent. Its dramatic stroke contrast and needle serifs convey sophistication and a sense of ceremony, leaning toward premium, curated aesthetics rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical serif construction: strong vertical structure paired with extremely fine detailing for a high-end, print-forward feel. It prioritizes elegance, tension, and typographic sparkle in titles and prominent text while retaining a conventional serif framework.
In the text sample, the font reads with a lively shimmer created by thin cross-strokes and hairlines, while the heavier verticals keep lines anchored. The figures share the same high-contrast logic and vertical stress, and punctuation and dots appear small and precise, reinforcing the delicate, high-finish character.
