A refined serif with sharp, hairline terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. The serifs read as fine wedges and crisp brackets, paired with smooth, rounded bowls and narrow joins that create a polished, dressy rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in impression, while lowercase shows lively detailing—noticeable in the ball terminals and the distinctive, more calligraphic italic-like flavor in letters such as the two-storey g. Numerals share the same delicate finishing, with thin horizontals and small, precise serifs that keep the set consistent.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, section openers, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and fine serifs can read crisply. It can also work for short-to-medium editorial passages in print or high-resolution digital contexts when ample size and comfortable spacing are used.
The overall tone is upscale and poised, projecting a classic editorial sensibility associated with luxury publishing and fashion communication. Its sharp contrast and delicate finishing give it a formal, curated feel, more suited to considered typography than utilitarian UI reading.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-fashion serif voice: crisp, elegant, and visually confident. Its strong vertical emphasis and delicate detailing prioritize sophistication and character over rugged, small-size utility.
The design emphasizes clean verticals and fine horizontals, producing a bright page color and a slightly sparkling texture in text. Curves are controlled and symmetric, with tight apertures and neat terminals that heighten the impression of precision.
