A high-contrast serif with hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, showing a clear vertical emphasis and crisp, tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and generous, with sharp joins and fine entry/exit strokes that keep counters open despite the delicate horizontals. Proportions feel classical and text-oriented, with balanced capitals, compact-to-moderate lowercase widths, and numerals that follow the same refined contrast and serif detailing. Spacing reads even in running text, while the strong contrast gives a bright, polished rhythm.
Well suited to editorial design where high contrast can add hierarchy and polish—magazine features, cultural journalism, and book typography. It also performs strongly in display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and luxury-oriented branding, where the fine serifs and sharp modulation read as premium.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, leaning toward traditional book and magazine typography with a sense of ceremony and restraint. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted forms convey sophistication and a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward elegance without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, text-ready serif with heightened elegance through strong contrast and delicate serifs, offering a classic reading tone while providing enough sparkle for editorial display moments.
In larger sizes the hairlines and thin cross-strokes become a defining feature, creating a sparkling texture on the line. The design’s crisp serifs and calligraphic stress help maintain a classical feel, while the clean outlines keep it contemporary enough for modern editorial layouts.
