A sharply drawn serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. Curves are smooth and carefully tensioned, while joins and terminals stay clean and controlled, giving the letterforms a polished, contemporary finish. Proportions feel generously set with ample width in many caps and round letters, and spacing reads open enough to keep the strong contrast from clogging in text. Lowercase forms maintain a traditional structure with sturdy stems, fine entry/exit strokes, and balanced counters that support readable paragraph color at display-to-text crossover sizes.
Well-suited for editorial design, magazine headlines, and pull quotes where contrast and elegance are assets. It also fits premium branding and packaging, especially for fashion, beauty, hospitality, and cultural institutions, and can deliver impactful titles in posters or campaign layouts.
The overall tone is elegant and high-end, with a dramatic sparkle from the fine hairlines and assertive main strokes. It feels suited to fashion and culture contexts—confident, refined, and slightly theatrical—without tipping into novelty.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, polished take on a classical serif: high-contrast forms for visual drama, paired with disciplined construction and open proportions for clarity in real-world typographic settings.
The numerals share the same high-contrast logic, with distinctive oldstyle-like movement in some figures and crisp, pointed details that keep them lively in headlines. The sample text shows a consistent rhythm across mixed-case setting, where the strong contrast adds sophistication while the wide shapes keep lines from feeling cramped.
