A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, giving the letters a polished, engraving-like finish. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a predominantly vertical axis in rounded forms and smooth, controlled curves. Proportions feel bookish and balanced: capitals are stately with clean joins, while lowercase forms keep a steady rhythm and clear counters, maintaining readability despite the delicate details. Numerals follow the same refined construction, with slender terminals and a consistent, dressy texture on the line.
Well suited to magazine design, book and chapter titles, and other editorial applications where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry personality. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and packaging, and performs best in headlines, display typography, and prominent short text where its hairlines and sharp serifs can shine.
The overall tone is sophisticated and formal, projecting a sense of luxury and editorial authority. Its delicate hairlines and precise shaping evoke classic fashion and cultural publishing, with a composed, high-end presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: elegant, assertive, and visually premium. It prioritizes sophisticated line rhythm and crisp detailing to create strong editorial impact without resorting to ornament.
At larger sizes the hairline details and sharp serifs read especially clean and dramatic, creating a distinctive sparkle in headings and pull quotes. In denser text, the contrast and fine terminals contribute to an airy, refined texture that benefits from generous spacing and comfortable line height.
