A high-contrast serif with crisp hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The design emphasizes verticality, with narrow joins, sharp wedge-like terminals, and clean, tapered finishing strokes that create a bright, sparkling texture at display sizes. Capitals feel statuesque and tightly controlled, while the lowercase shows compact proportions and a distinctly short x-height that increases the prominence of ascenders and capitals. Numerals and round letters exhibit strong vertical stress, with refined counters and thin connecting strokes that heighten the elegant, cut-from-paper clarity of the forms.
This typeface excels in magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle editorial layouts, and brand identities that benefit from a refined, high-contrast serif voice. It also suits premium packaging, lookbooks, and poster titling where its sharp serifs and elegant stress can be showcased at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a dramatic editorial flavor. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing evoke fashion publishing, luxury branding, and classic print sophistication rather than casual or utilitarian text work.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a classic serif model: emphasizing sharp contrast, vertical poise, and a cultivated, print-forward finish for impactful display typography.
In paragraph setting the rhythm is brisk and contrast-driven, producing striking word shapes and a lively sparkle, especially where hairlines cluster in diagonals and joins. The short x-height and delicate hairlines make it feel best suited to larger sizes or well-controlled printing and screen conditions where the fine details can remain intact.
