A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The design shows a vertical, stately rhythm with tapered terminals, sharp beaks, and elegant curves that narrow into fine joins. Capitals are proportioned for display-like presence, while the lowercase maintains a measured, readable build with open counters and slightly calligraphic shaping. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate hairlines and strong main strokes that keep them visually consistent in text.
Well-suited to magazine and editorial settings, premium branding, and packaging where a refined serif is expected to carry personality. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and large-format typography that can showcase its hairline detailing and dramatic contrast.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting an editorial, high-end feel. Its stark contrast and controlled detailing read as sophisticated and intentional, lending an elevated, fashion-forward voice to headlines and curated typography.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance, hierarchy, and visual impact in display-forward contexts while still retaining a conventional, text-serif structure for extended setting at larger sizes.
In the sample text, the thin strokes and finely cut serifs create a bright, airy texture that benefits from generous sizes and comfortable spacing. The high contrast and hairline details are visually striking, especially in round letters and diagonals, where the tapering and sharp terminals become key character cues.
