This serif shows pronounced stroke contrast with very fine hairlines and sharper, weightier verticals, producing a bright, elegant color on the page. Serifs are slender and clean, with a generally crisp, modern finish and minimal rounding at terminals. Proportions lean slightly narrow with tall capitals and generous sidebearings, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm and clear differentiation between round and straight forms. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate curves and thin joins that feel tailored for display and refined text settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a refined serif voice is desired. It also fits branding and identity work—especially for beauty, luxury, arts, and cultural institutions—and performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and crisp serifs can read as intentional and premium.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, with a fashion-and-editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and restrained detailing convey formality and confidence without feeling ornamental. The impression is quiet luxury—precise, composed, and contemporary-classic.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary interpretation of classic high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance, clarity, and a polished page rhythm. It balances display sharpness with enough regularity for sustained reading in composed layouts.
In the text sample, the hairline strokes remain prominent and contribute to an airy texture, while the heavier verticals anchor the line strongly. Curved letters (C, O, S, e) emphasize smooth, controlled bowls, and the serif treatment stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals for a cohesive voice.
