A refined serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong vertical stems, producing a sharply chiseled, high-fashion silhouette. Serifs are fine and precise, with tapered terminals and clean, controlled curves that stay smooth even in round forms like O and Q. Uppercase proportions feel stately and open, while the lowercase maintains a measured rhythm with compact joins and delicate entry strokes. Numerals and capitals share the same polished, high-contrast logic, creating a consistent, print-oriented texture.
Best suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and high-end branding where contrast and finesse can read clearly. It can work in short passages in print-focused layouts, particularly when size, leading, and reproduction quality support its delicate hairlines.
The tone is luxurious and composed, evoking couture, gallery catalogs, and classic literary publishing. Its crisp contrast and poised spacing communicate sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice—sharp, luminous, and couture-leaning—built to create dramatic typographic contrast and a premium editorial feel.
In the text sample, thin horizontals and hairline connections become especially prominent, giving the line a sparkling, engraved quality. The design favors clarity of outline and elegant silhouettes over dense color, making it visually striking at display sizes while remaining controlled in longer settings.
