This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with very fine hairlines and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are delicately bracketed and often flare into sharp wedge-like endings, giving stems a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Proportions are balanced and slightly narrow in the round letters, with generous inner counters and a steady vertical rhythm; the overall color stays light despite strong contrast. Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins remain clean, producing a polished, high-resolution look in both capitals and lowercase.
Well suited to magazine layouts, culture and fashion editorials, and display settings where elegance and contrast can carry the hierarchy. It can also serve refined branding, invitations, and book covers, particularly when paired with ample spacing and high-quality reproduction.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial, high-fashion sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals read as formal and curated, lending text a classic, literary sophistication rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast serif construction, emphasizing sharpness, finesse, and a premium tone. Flared, tapered endings and tight control of curves suggest a focus on expressive display typography that still holds together in continuous reading at comfortable sizes.
The forms rely on delicacy and sharp detail—especially in hairline connections and thin serifs—so the design feels most confident when given sufficient size and breathing room. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, refined construction, matching the overall typographic voice.
