A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty verticals, shaped by subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs rather than blunt slabs. The letterforms show a calligraphic stress with tapered joins, pointed apexes (notably in A and V/W), and sculpted curves that create a lively light–dark rhythm. Proportions feel balanced and slightly variable across characters, with sturdy capitals, a moderate x-height, and open counters that keep text from clogging despite the thin horizontals. Numerals share the same sharp contrast and refined tapering, reading as formal and display-leaning.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial passages where high contrast can provide sparkle and hierarchy. It also fits book and album covers, fashion or cultural branding, and refined packaging, especially at sizes where the hairlines can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a dramatic sparkle created by the extreme contrast and keen terminals. It suggests fashion, culture, and bookish sophistication—confident and classic, but with enough flair to feel contemporary in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and subtle flaring for added sophistication and movement. It aims to balance traditional readability cues with a more dramatic, display-ready presence for modern editorial and brand applications.
In continuous text, the thin cross-strokes and hairline serifs contribute to a bright texture and pronounced vertical emphasis. Rounded letters (o, e, c) have smooth, slightly pointed transitions, and forms like g and a add a traditional, literary character without becoming overly ornate.
