A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-fine hairlines. The design uses bracketed wedge serifs and smooth, sculpted joins that give stems a polished, carved feel. Uppercase forms are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows gentle calligraphic influence in curves and terminals. Counters are open and round, diagonals are clean, and spacing reads intentionally airy, producing a bright, high-end page color at display sizes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and formal rhythm, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes.
Best suited for display applications such as magazine covers and feature headlines, luxury brand identities, and refined packaging. It can work for short editorial passages or pull quotes where a polished, high-contrast texture is desirable and reproduction is high quality.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, with a fashion-forward, premium voice. Its high finesse and crisp contrast suggest formality and taste, evoking magazine typography, luxury branding, and cultural institutions rather than utilitarian UI text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic text serif: traditional structure paired with heightened contrast and meticulous finishing. Its proportions and detailing prioritize elegance and impact for editorial and brand-led typography.
In the sample text, the face maintains clarity through long passages but visually asserts itself through sharp hairlines and sparkling contrast. The italic is not shown; the displayed roman relies on precise serifs and controlled curvature for character rather than overt ornament.
