A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline finishing. The letterforms show bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a largely vertical stress that gives rounds a crisp, high-fashion sheen. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow in feel, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact apertures and carefully tightened joins. Curves and diagonals are clean and controlled, and the figures match the text tone with similarly sharp contrast and neat, classic proportions.
Well suited to editorial design such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated titling, as well as book covers and cultural or fashion branding. It can work for short-to-medium text in high-quality print or high-resolution digital contexts where its fine hairlines and sharp serifs remain intact.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing traditional bookish credibility with a contemporary luxury edge. Its sharp contrast and fine details read as confident and upscale, making text feel intentional and curated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, traditional serif voice with dramatic contrast and crisp finishing, optimized for stylish typography and impactful headlines while remaining coherent enough for selective text use.
Distinctive details include teardrop/ball-like terminals in places (notably on J, j, and some lowercase forms), plus crisp, pointed diagonals that keep the rhythm lively in display sizes. In longer settings the contrast creates a sparkling texture, while the fine serifs and hairlines demand sufficient size and reproduction quality to stay clear.
