A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. The design emphasizes vertical stems and sharp, largely unbracketed serifs, giving letters a poised, high-contrast silhouette. Counters are generous and round, while curves transition quickly into thin joins, producing an elegant, slightly dramatic rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and tidy, with a single-storey a and g, fine entry/exit strokes, and delicate dots on i and j that keep the texture light at text sizes and striking at display sizes.
This style is well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and elegant packaging where sharp contrast and refined detail are assets. It also fits invitations, editorial pull quotes, and large-format posters where its crisp serifs and sculpted curves can be appreciated. In longer passages, it will read best with comfortable leading and sizes that preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a fashion-forward sheen and a sense of classical sophistication. Its sharp contrast and clean finishing convey luxury, ceremony, and a curated, high-end sensibility rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end interpretation of classic high-contrast serif typography. It prioritizes elegance, verticality, and crisp finishing to create a premium voice for editorial and brand-led composition.
The numerals mirror the letterforms’ strong contrast and crisp detailing, with distinctive, calligraphic-like curves in figures such as 2, 3, and 9. Uppercase characters show strong presence and ample whitespace, while the lowercase maintains a controlled, elegant cadence that favors refined typography over ruggedness.
