A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate, hairline serifs. The letterforms are upright and relatively open, with generous horizontal proportions and smooth, calligraphic curves. Terminals often resolve into fine points or subtle teardrops, giving strokes a sculpted, sharp finish. Capitals feel stately and controlled, while the lowercase maintains a traditional text rhythm with clear, well-separated counters and a crisp, polished texture at larger sizes.
Best suited to display and editorial typography such as magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, book covers, and premium packaging. It can work for short passages in print-oriented contexts when set at comfortable sizes, where its fine serifs and strong contrast can remain crisp.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, projecting a sense of luxury and tradition. Its sharp contrasts and tapered details add drama and sophistication, reading as formal and premium rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography: poised, upscale, and highly legible in larger settings. It balances traditional proportions with a slightly expansive width and sharply finished details to create a distinctive, polished voice for modern editorial use.
The numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender joins and fine finishing details that emphasize elegance. The wide stance and clean verticals keep words looking composed and airy, while the hairline features demand adequate size or resolution to retain their finesse.
