A refined serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, sculpted terminals that often flare as strokes finish. The letterforms are compact and vertically oriented, with taut curves and tapered joins that create a polished, engraved rhythm in text. Serifs and endings are sharp and minimal rather than blocky, and the numerals follow the same elegant contrast with slender stems and decisive, pointed details.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where its contrast and flared endings can be appreciated. It also fits magazine layouts, book jackets, and upscale branding systems that want a classic yet sharp serif presence; it can work for short-form text in high-quality print or generous sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and cultured, with a slightly dramatic, couture-like sharpness. Its high-contrast rhythm and tapered finishes suggest formality and precision, lending a premium, editorial voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
Likely designed to deliver an elegant, high-fashion serif voice with a contemporary sharpness, combining classical proportions with pronounced contrast and flared terminals for a distinctive editorial signature.
In the text sample, the contrast produces a lively sparkle, especially in round letters and at stroke endings, while the compact proportions keep lines looking tidy and controlled. The design leans on delicate hairlines, so it reads most confidently when given enough size and clean reproduction.
