A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline horizontals that stay crisp at display sizes. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed, with tapered terminals and a controlled, vertical stress. Capitals feel stately and open, while the lowercase balances a moderate x-height with long ascenders/descenders and smooth, calligraphic joins. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, giving the overall texture a bright, airy rhythm with strong letterform definition.
Well suited to magazine headlines, book and album covers, luxury branding, and other display-forward editorial applications where contrast and refinement are an asset. It can also work for short passages such as pull quotes or introductions when set with ample size and leading.
The tone is elegant and editorial, evoking fashion and cultural publishing rather than utilitarian text work. Its high-contrast construction and delicate details convey sophistication, poise, and a slightly formal, premium feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a confident vertical stance for impactful, premium typography.
In longer lines the face reads clean and polished, but the finest strokes and small internal joins suggest it will benefit from generous sizes and comfortable spacing to preserve clarity. The italics are not shown; the roman carries most of the personality through tapered terminals, sculpted curves, and crisp serifs.
