A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms show a largely vertical stress with smooth, rounded bowls and sharply tapered joins, creating a clean, high-fashion rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Proportions are balanced and readable, with generous counters and a controlled, even cadence across the alphabet; numerals follow the same polished, display-leaning contrast and sharp finishing details.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes, as well as premium branding, packaging, and marketing materials that benefit from a sharp, elegant serif voice. It will shine most in display sizes and spacious layouts where the fine details and contrast can be fully appreciated.
The overall tone is sophisticated and polished, projecting a sense of luxury and editorial authority. Its sharp detailing and dramatic modulation feel formal and contemporary-classic, suited to designs that want poise and a premium voice rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing crisp finishing, vertical elegance, and a luminous page texture. It balances stately capitals with a smooth, readable lowercase to support both striking titles and refined short-form text.
In text, the strong contrast and fine terminals create a bright, sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines remain crisp. Round letters (like O/Q) appear particularly smooth and symmetrical, while the serif treatment stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive typographic color.
