A refined serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical axis. Strokes transition quickly into very fine hairlines, with crisp, mostly unbracketed serifs and pointed wedge-like terminals in places. Capitals are spacious and stately with smooth, round bowls (C, O, Q) contrasted against straight, polished stems, while the lowercase keeps a conventional, readable structure with a moderate x-height and clear ascenders/descenders. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, creating a consistent, sharply etched texture at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and branding where its high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short passages in large sizes, but it will be most reliable when used with ample size and comfortable spacing to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, evoking fashion and literary sophistication. Its sheen comes from the razor-thin hairlines and poised proportions, giving text a formal, high-end voice rather than an informal or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, polished take on classical high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance and drama. Its proportions and sharp finishing suggest a focus on premium editorial and brand communication over small-size, workhorse reading.
Spacing appears generous, helping the sharp serifs and delicate horizontals breathe, while the contrast can cause fine details to recede at smaller sizes. The letterforms maintain a disciplined rhythm, with a deliberate, display-oriented crispness across both the grid and the paragraph sample.
