A refined serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The design shows a distinctly vertical stress and smooth, rounded bowls paired with sharp terminals and precise joins, producing a polished, engraved-like finish. Proportions lean wide with generous counters and steady spacing, while capitals feel stately and structured; lowercase forms are clean and compact with a controlled, upright rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, mixing sturdy stems with delicate hairlines for a consistent, high-end texture in setting.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine decks, and large-size typography where its hairlines and contrast can stay crisp. It also fits luxury branding, cosmetics and fragrance packaging, invitations, and high-end retail communications where a formal, cultivated voice is desired. For longer text, it will typically perform strongest in larger point sizes with sufficient line spacing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-fashion, with a poised, ceremonial presence that reads as premium and curated. Its sharp contrast and tidy construction evoke magazine typography, luxury packaging, and classic print tradition rather than casual or utilitarian use.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast book-and-fashion serif: impressive in headlines, controlled in rhythm, and unmistakably premium. Its wide stance and clean finishing suggest an emphasis on clarity and elegance in display-led typography.
The letterforms maintain a consistent contrast system across rounds and straights, creating a bright, sparkling page color at display sizes. Fine details—especially hairline serifs and thin horizontals—contribute to an incisive look that benefits from ample size and comfortable reproduction conditions.
