A high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and pronounced thick–thin modulation, giving letters a polished, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, with subtle bracketing that keeps joins smooth rather than mechanical. Uppercase forms are tall and stately, while the lowercase shows a classic text-seriffed structure with open counters and a measured, bookish cadence. Curves are clean and taut (notably in O/C/S), and terminals often end in delicate, pointed flicks that enhance the refined silhouette.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine display typography, cover lines, and section heads where contrast and refinement are assets. It also fits luxury branding and formal collateral like invitations or event materials, particularly when set with generous spacing and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is sophisticated and elevated, leaning toward luxury and editorial polish rather than utilitarian text neutrality. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions evoke a cultured, literary feel with a fashion-forward edge.
Likely intended as a contemporary, high-contrast serif for expressive reading and display contexts—delivering classic serif familiarity while heightening drama through hairline detail and carefully controlled modulation.
The design emphasizes vertical stress and crisp detailing, which reads especially dramatic in large sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy stems with fine hairlines for a consistent, formal texture.
