This serif features sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced stroke contrast, with thin connecting strokes and fuller verticals that taper into subtly flared terminals. Curves are smooth and sculpted, with a polished, slightly calligraphic modulation that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The overall rhythm is open and orderly, with clean joins and a refined finish that favors clarity at display sizes.
It performs best in headlines, titles, pull quotes, and cover typography where its contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It’s a strong fit for magazine systems, cultural or lifestyle branding, and premium packaging, and can also work for short text blocks when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The tone is poised and upscale, balancing traditional bookish authority with a contemporary, fashion-forward sheen. Its crisp contrast and delicate detailing convey sophistication and restraint, lending a sense of luxury without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice with strong vertical emphasis and carefully tapered details, aiming for impact and polish in display-led typography while retaining a classical foundation.
Capital forms read stately and spacious, while the lowercase introduces gentle movement through tapered entry/exit strokes and occasional pointed terminals. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and feel suited to typographic settings where figures should look as crafted as the letters.
