A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and fuller verticals, showing a sculpted, flared feel where strokes open into the serifs. Serifs are small and sharp yet subtly bracketed, giving terminals a refined, engraved quality rather than a blunt slab finish. Curves are smooth and controlled, with round forms (C, O, G) kept airy and open, while joins and apexes are pointed and precise. Proportions lean slightly tall and dignified, with a clear hierarchy between thick stems and delicate cross-strokes; numerals follow the same sharp, display-oriented contrast.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, magazine typography, brand marks, and premium packaging where the sharp serifs and contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for editorial settings like pull quotes and short blocks of text at comfortable sizes, especially in high-quality print or high-resolution digital environments.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, mixing classical bookish refinement with a contemporary, fashion-forward crispness. Its sharp details and dramatic contrast read as confident and luxurious, suited to high-end typography where elegance and clarity are both important.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on an elegant serif—combining strong vertical structure with delicate hairlines and subtly flared, sculpted endings. It prioritizes a refined silhouette and high-end typographic color, aimed at sophisticated editorial and branding contexts.
In text, the hairlines and fine serifs become a prominent part of the texture, creating a bright, shimmering rhythm at larger sizes. Uppercase forms feel stately and composed, while the lowercase adds a more human, slightly calligraphic flow through curved strokes and tapered terminals. The figures appear designed to match the letterforms’ sharpness and contrast, giving numerals a similarly refined presence in headings and pull quotes.
