A refined serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The design emphasizes vertical stress and clean, straight stems, contrasted by delicate joins and tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, giving bowls and counters a sculpted feel; the overall rhythm is elegant and slightly condensed in impression at text sizes due to the fine horizontals and narrow hairlines. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with standout forms like the curled 2 and the swashed, descending 9.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display settings where its contrast and hairlines can remain intact. It works well for fashion and lifestyle magazines, luxury branding, invitations, and elegant packaging; in longer text, it will favor larger sizes and comfortable leading to preserve clarity.
The font conveys an editorial, high-fashion tone—polished, sophisticated, and slightly theatrical. Its crisp hairlines and dramatic contrast feel premium and ceremonial, evoking classic print typography with a modern, runway-ready sheen.
Likely designed to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, drama, and premium editorial presence. The consistent vertical emphasis and fine detailing suggest an intention for sophisticated display typography with strong identity impact.
Uppercase forms read especially stately, with crisp crossbars and pointed apexes, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic warmth through tapered strokes and occasional ball/teardrop-like terminals. The fine horizontals and delicate serifs create a bright, sparkling texture that benefits from generous spacing and high-quality reproduction.
