A refined serif with striking thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline detailing. The letterforms show a predominantly vertical stress, with long, sharp serifs and clean, straight stems contrasted by swelling curves in rounds like O and C. Terminals and joins stay precise and glossy rather than calligraphic, producing a polished rhythm in display sizes. Proportions feel classical with a moderate x-height and relatively narrow apertures, while the overall spacing reads measured and composed in text samples.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging where contrast and refinement are assets. It also works for short pull quotes and title treatments, especially in high-resolution print or well-rendered digital contexts that can preserve the fine hairline details.
The tone is poised and high-end, with a dramatic contrast that reads as luxurious and editorial. It suggests sophistication and formality, with a slightly theatrical sharpness that works well for attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice for display typography—combining classical structure with sharper, more contemporary precision. Its main goal is visual impact through contrast, elegance, and a controlled, upscale texture.
At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and fine serifs become a defining feature, creating a sparkling texture across words. Curved forms have pronounced thickened sections, while horizontal elements stay minimal, reinforcing the vertical, dressy silhouette.
