A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, hairline serifs, and a predominantly vertical stress. Capitals feel tall and sculptural, with sharp terminals and clean, flat finishing on many strokes. The lowercase shows compact, controlled forms with a two-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and crisp joins, creating a bright, sparkling texture at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with delicate hairlines and bold main stems that read as refined rather than heavy.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and brand touchpoints where a refined, upscale voice is desired. It can work for short passages in print-like settings when set large enough to keep hairlines clear, but it is most convincing as a display-oriented text serif for high-impact typography.
The overall tone is polished and formal, evoking luxury publishing and classic high-end print aesthetics. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing convey sophistication and precision, leaning more toward dramatic elegance than warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, publication-ready elegance through dramatic contrast, vertical emphasis, and crisp serif detailing. It prioritizes a premium, editorial character and strong typographic presence in titles and prominent text.
In text settings the extreme contrast creates a lively rhythm, with strong verticals and very thin connecting strokes producing a distinctive shimmer. The design emphasizes crispness and poise, making spacing and size choices especially important to preserve the fine hairlines and maintain legibility.
