This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp hairlines and strong vertical stems, producing a crisp, high-definition texture on the page. Serifs are fine and largely bracketed, with tapered terminals and a distinctly vertical stress in rounded letters. Proportions feel generously spaced and slightly expansive, while curves are smooth and controlled, giving counters an open, polished look. The lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with a moderate x-height and compact ascenders, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with narrow joins and delicate details.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where contrast and refinement are desirable. It also fits branding applications—logos, luxury packaging, and event materials—where a classic serif voice should feel contemporary and precise. For best results, use it at display or larger text sizes where its hairlines and fine serifs can be fully appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, with a fashion/editorial polish and a quietly classical authority. Its sparkle comes from the hairline elements, which lend sophistication and a sense of luxury without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, polished take on conventional serif typography, emphasizing elegance through high contrast and disciplined, upright construction. It aims to project authority and sophistication while remaining familiar and readable in typical editorial layouts.
At larger sizes the sharp joins, thin cross-strokes, and fine serifs read especially cleanly and add a bright, glossy contrast. The design maintains a consistent calligraphic logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive typographic color in display and headline settings.
