A high-contrast serif with hairline thins and strong, vertical main strokes, producing a sleek, polished texture. Serifs are small and sharply bracketed, with tapered terminals that often end in fine points. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with a distinctly calligraphic modulation visible in bowls and joins, and occasional ball terminals on select lowercase forms. Proportions feel classical with moderate apertures, relatively narrow joins, and an overall crisp, sculpted silhouette that emphasizes verticality.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and large-format editorial typography where the fine detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, beauty packaging, and formal stationery where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired; for longer passages, it will generally perform better at comfortable sizes with ample spacing.
The tone is elegant and composed, with a distinctly upscale, editorial feel. Its dramatic stroke contrast and delicate detailing evoke fashion, beauty, and cultural publishing, conveying sophistication and authority rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, fashion-leaning text and display serif that modernizes classical proportions with strong contrast and sharp finishing details. It aims to deliver a premium, editorial voice with clean rhythm and high visual impact in larger sizes.
In text, the very fine horizontals and hairlines create a shimmering rhythm, while the pronounced contrast gives headings a striking, high-end presence. Numerals and capitals share the same refined detailing, with curves and terminals that read as carefully finished and intentional.
