A high-contrast serif with a crisp, vertical rhythm and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The capitals are tall and stately with sharp, delicate hairline serifs and clean, mostly unbracketed joins, giving a polished engraved feel. Lowercase forms keep a clear, bookish structure with a relatively even x-height and generous counters; the italic influence is minimal, with upright construction and controlled, tapered terminals. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast logic, pairing sturdy stems with fine cross-strokes for a bright, airy texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where its high contrast can deliver impact and sophistication. It can also work for premium branding and packaging when used at sizes large enough to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, projecting luxury and tradition with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sparkle and sharp finishing details feel poised and premium rather than rustic or casual.
The design appears intended to evoke a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif tradition, prioritizing elegance, clarity of structure, and visual sparkle in display settings. Its proportions and crisp detailing suggest a focus on refined editorial and brand applications rather than rugged everyday text.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and serif tips create noticeable shimmer at display sizes, while the strong verticals keep word shapes stable and crisp. Curved letters show clear vertical stress, and diagonal strokes (like in V/W/X/Y) read as elegant, slightly taut constructions that reinforce the refined character.
