A delicate serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered terminals, built around a crisp vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with pointed, wedge-like finishing on many strokes that gives the forms a sculpted, engraved feel. Uppercase proportions are stately and open, with generous counters (notably in C, G, O, Q) and clean, narrow joins in diagonals and cross-strokes. The lowercase keeps a traditional, readable structure with moderate ascenders/descenders, narrow linking strokes, and small, neat details such as a single-storey g and a slender, lightly hooked f.
This typeface is well suited to magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, and other editorial settings where a polished, upscale voice is needed. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and short passages set at comfortable display sizes, and can also support elegant book covers and refined identity work.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, conveying a quiet sophistication associated with high-end editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and minimal stroke weight feel precise and ceremonial, leaning more toward display elegance than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif experience—highly refined contrast, clean proportions, and carefully sharpened terminals—optimized for sophisticated display typography and premium editorial use.
In the text sample, the rhythm is airy and refined, with fine joins and terminals that stay crisp at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with graceful curves and thin entry/exit strokes that visually align with the letterforms.
