A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. The overall construction feels classical with a strong vertical axis and clean, sharply bracketed serifs that stay delicate even on heavier strokes. Counters are generously open and the rhythm is slightly lively, with subtle width variation across letters that gives words a gently sculpted texture. Lowercase forms read smoothly with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a single-storey “g” with a sweeping ear; numerals and capitals maintain the same polished contrast and precise detailing.
Well suited to magazine typography, display headings, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where contrast and elegance are assets. It also fits premium branding applications—such as beauty, jewelry, hospitality, and luxury packaging—where a polished, classical serif voice is desired.
The tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a high-end editorial feel associated with fashion, culture, and sophisticated publishing. Its sharp contrast and fine finishing convey formality and taste, while the slightly fluid, calligraphic shaping keeps it from feeling rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif look: high contrast, sharp finishing, and an upscale texture optimized for expressive typography. It balances traditional proportions with a clean, contemporary refinement aimed at editorial and brand-led communication.
At larger sizes the thin hairlines and tight joins become part of the personality, producing a sparkling, engraved-like detail. In continuous text the design remains orderly, but its delicate horizontals and serifs suggest it will shine most when given comfortable sizes and spacing.
