A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharp, with a distinctly vertical, modern stress through rounds and bowls. Uppercase forms feel stately and compact with wide internal counters, while lowercase maintains a traditional rhythm with a two-storey a and g, ball terminals on select forms, and neatly tapered joins. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with slender hairlines and strong vertical stems for a clean, polished texture in text.
Well suited to magazine typography, editorial headlines, and brand systems that need a refined, high-contrast voice. It can also work for book titles and pull quotes where its sharp serifs and clean vertical stress provide sophistication and hierarchy.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, leaning toward a contemporary editorial sensibility rather than rustic or calligraphic warmth. Its sharp contrast and precise terminals give it a confident, cultivated presence suited to premium messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, luxury-leaning serif with strong contrast and crisp detailing, balancing classic construction with a more contemporary, fashion/editorial finish. Its controlled proportions and consistent stroke modulation suggest a focus on clarity and elegance in prominent typographic roles.
At display sizes the hairlines and tapered details become a defining feature, creating a sparkling, high-end look; in denser settings the rhythm remains controlled but relies on sufficient size and reproduction quality to keep the thin strokes from fading. The design reads as deliberate and fashion-forward, with restrained ornament and consistent, disciplined proportions.
