A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The overall construction is upright with a clear vertical stress, pairing sturdy main stems with delicate connecting strokes and tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and serifs stay sharp and clean, giving the forms a polished, contemporary Didone-like tension. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, and spacing reads airy and precise, helping the thin strokes stay distinct in display sizes.
Best suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and feature openers—where its contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, beauty and fashion packaging, invitations, and large-format posters, especially when printed well or used at generous sizes.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a cool, editorial confidence. Its dramatic contrast and razor-fine details suggest sophistication and a sense of high-end taste, leaning toward fashion and cultural publishing rather than utilitarian everyday text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice: crisp, elevated, and attention-grabbing through contrast rather than heft. It prioritizes elegance, clarity of silhouette, and a premium finish for display-led communication.
The uppercase shows strong stately presence, while the lowercase maintains an elegant rhythm with delicate shoulders and fine finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, producing a consistent, boutique feel across letters and figures.
