A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairlines, giving the letterforms a polished, high-fashion finish. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp terminals and a slightly calligraphic stress that shows in rounded forms and in the tapered joins. Proportions are on the generous side with ample width and clear counters; uppercase forms feel stately while the lowercase stays compact and readable, with a single-storey g and gently curving tails on letters like y and Q. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with delicate horizontals and strong vertical stems.
Well-suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, deck copy, brand marks, and luxury packaging where its hairline details can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and leading, emphasizing a cultivated, premium voice.
The overall tone is elegant and authoritative, with a sense of theatrical contrast that reads as premium and editorial. Its crisp detailing and poised rhythm suggest sophistication, making it feel at home in upscale, classic contexts rather than casual or utilitarian ones.
This appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and fashion serifs: crisp, poised, and expressive in large sizes, while maintaining conventional structure for familiar readability. The wide stance and sculpted serifs aim to project confidence and prestige in editorial and branding applications.
At larger sizes the fine serifs and hairlines become a key feature, creating sparkle and a lively texture in headlines. In dense settings, the strong contrast and delicate joins make spacing and line breaks especially important to preserve clarity and avoid visual shimmer.
