A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing. The letterforms favor vertical, poised proportions with sharp bracketless serifs and tapered terminals that create a clean, sculpted rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, with high-contrast joins and delicate crossbars that keep counters open despite the slender strokes. Overall spacing reads measured and elegant, giving the forms a calm, statuesque presence in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well suited to magazine layouts, culture and fashion headlines, and premium brand identities where elegance and contrast are desired. It also fits invitations, lookbooks, and pull quotes, especially at larger sizes where the hairline details can be appreciated.
The font conveys an editorial, high-end tone—polished, formal, and quietly dramatic. Its sharp detailing and strong contrast suggest luxury contexts while maintaining a traditional literary sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and fashion serifs—prioritizing sharp refinement, elevated tone, and striking typographic hierarchy for editorial and brand-led applications.
In text, the fine hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining texture, producing a bright page color with a slightly shimmering cadence. The numerals and capitals feel display-forward, with confident vertical strokes and refined curves that support sophisticated titling and large-size typography.
