A refined serif with extreme stroke modulation: thick verticals and bowls contrast sharply with hairline horizontals and delicate, sharply cut serifs. The overall construction is upright and formal, with smooth, sculpted curves and tapered terminals that feel slightly calligraphic rather than purely mechanical. Capitals are stately and high-contrast, with a distinctive swash-like tail on Q and pointed diagonals on V/W/Y. Lowercase shows compact, neatly bracketed forms; the two-storey a and g are crisp and open, and the numerals echo the same high-contrast rhythm with fine joins and sharp finishing strokes.
Well-suited to magazine typography, headlines, and pull quotes where contrast and refinement are an asset. It also fits luxury branding and packaging—especially for cosmetics, fashion, jewelry, and premium food and beverage—where sharp detail and a classic tone are desirable. For longer passages, it performs best when given comfortable size and leading so the hairlines stay clear.
The tone is polished and editorial, projecting elegance and authority with a theatrical, high-fashion edge. Its strong contrast and razor-thin details give it a luxe, print-led personality that reads as curated and premium.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and fashion serifs, prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a confident editorial voice. It balances traditional proportions with crisp finishing and distinctive capital forms to create a premium, display-forward impression.
The face relies on fine hairlines and narrow joins, creating a bright, shimmering texture in text and a striking presence at display sizes. Spacing appears measured and steady in the sample paragraph, helping maintain readability despite the dramatic contrast.
