A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing. The design favors vertical stems and taut curves, with sharp, wedge-like serif terminals that read cleanly at display sizes. Capitals feel stately and spacious, while lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a two-storey a and g and a compact, balanced rhythm. Overall spacing and proportions create a polished, high-end texture, with numerals and punctuation matching the same sharp, high-contrast logic.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine headlines, and premium branding where a sophisticated, high-contrast serif can carry the page. It also fits packaging and book-cover typography, particularly when paired with generous leading and high-resolution production to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The tone is poised and luxurious, evoking classic print sophistication with a modern, image-forward edge. Its dramatic stroke contrast and razor terminals suggest premium editorial and fashion contexts, where elegance and visual authority are desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice with strong contrast and precise detailing, balancing traditional letterform construction with a sharper, more contemporary finish for impactful display typography.
Joins and terminals often resolve into narrow points, giving the letterforms a chiseled, engraved feel. Rounded letters (like O/C) show clear vertical emphasis, and the sharp serifs on letters such as T, V, W, and X add a decisive, cut-paper crispness in headlines and pull quotes.
