A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and dominant vertical stems, producing a clean, sharply etched texture. Serifs are fine and delicate, with crisp bracketless joins and tapered, calligraphic-looking entry/exit strokes in places. Round letters show a pronounced vertical stress and a smooth, controlled curvature; diagonals remain slender and precise. Lowercase forms are compact and traditional, with a small, neat ear on the “g” and a single-storey “g” structure, while capitals are tall and stately with ample internal space.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, book covers, and premium brand wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes and section openers where a sophisticated contrast-driven texture is desired, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, leaning toward classic sophistication rather than warmth. Its crisp contrast and poised rhythm suggest an editorial voice—formal, stylish, and authoritative—well suited to high-end, culture-forward contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a poised vertical rhythm. Its letterforms emphasize refinement and editorial authority, aiming to create a distinctive, upscale voice in titles and prominent text settings.
In text, the thin connecting strokes and fine serifs create a sparkling, high-fashion color that benefits from generous sizes and comfortable spacing. The numerals follow the same refined, high-contrast construction, reading as display-friendly with an elevated, print-centric feel.
