A high-contrast serif with sharp, hairline serifs and strongly tapered joins that create a crisp, polished rhythm. Curves show a pronounced vertical stress and smooth modulation, while stems and bowls feel sculpted rather than geometric. The uppercase reads tall and elegant with generous, open counters, and the lowercase pairs a moderate x-height with long, delicate ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with an oldstyle flavor in the varied proportions and flowing curves.
Best suited to display and editorial applications such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and premium brand identities where its delicate hairlines can remain clean. It also works for short passages in high-quality print or large on-screen sizes, especially when paired with ample leading and careful contrast management.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, evoking luxury publishing and fashion branding. Its sleek contrast and fine detailing give it a poised, upscale presence that feels more at home in curated layouts than utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast text serif: graceful proportions, disciplined serif work, and a smooth calligraphic flow. Its detailing prioritizes sophistication and visual drama, aiming for a polished voice in refined typography contexts.
Terminals frequently resolve into small wedges or ball-like finishes, adding a slightly calligraphic sparkle at larger sizes. The thin strokes are extremely fine relative to the thick strokes, making spacing and line breaks feel airy and elegant in the sample text.
