A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline serifs and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. The design emphasizes vertical strokes and tight, clean curves, with tapered, knife-like finishing on diagonals and terminals. Capitals are tall and stately with generous counters, while the lowercase keeps a measured, bookish proportion and a controlled, slightly calligraphic modulation. Numerals and punctuation follow the same polished contrast, producing a bright, delicate texture that favors careful spacing and larger sizes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where the contrast can read cleanly. It also fits luxury identities, beauty and fashion packaging, and refined poster typography. For longer passages, it will perform best with comfortable leading and sizes that protect the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward confidence. Its sharp refinement and formal posture suggest premium print traditions and contemporary high-end branding rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, high-contrast reading voice that bridges classical book-serifs and modern editorial glamour. It prioritizes elegance and visual drama through sharp serifs, vertical emphasis, and carefully controlled curves.
Round letters show a clear vertical emphasis, and strokes transition quickly into thin hairlines, creating a sparkling page color in text. The italic is not shown; the demonstrated style reads as a precise, upright roman with classic, display-leaning detailing.
