This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline serifs and crisp, tapered terminals. Capitals feel tall and elegant, with strong vertical emphasis and smooth, polished curves; round letters like C/O lean toward a narrow, refined oval. The lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with a moderate x-height, clean joins, and compact counters, while details like the single-storey a and the ear and loop shapes add a slightly calligraphic, sculpted flavor. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate horizontals and sharp finishing strokes that read best at display sizes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, section openers, and other editorial typography where contrast and refinement are assets. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and packaging, and works effectively for posters and pull quotes when used at larger sizes.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a distinctly editorial fashion sensibility. Its high contrast and fine detailing create a dramatic, premium feel—more about elegance and impact than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif sophistication with modern, high-fashion contrast and clean, razor-like finishing. It prioritizes elegance, verticality, and a polished page presence, aiming for memorable display impact while remaining grounded in conventional serif structure.
Stroke endings are consistently sharp and controlled, producing a crisp texture in setting. The design relies on fine hairlines and small internal spaces in several letters, so visual clarity improves significantly as size increases and spacing is given room to breathe.
