A refined serif with striking thick–thin modulation and long, tapering hairlines. Serifs are delicate and sharply cut, often subtly bracketed, and many strokes end in flared or teardrop-like terminals that emphasize a calligraphic, high-end finish. Uppercase forms are stately with ample interior space (notably C, O, and Q), while lowercase shows compact, smooth bowls and a distinctive two-storey g with an elegant looped ear. The overall rhythm is clean and controlled, with a slightly display-leaning delicacy that remains cohesive in continuous text.
It performs especially well in magazine layouts, headlines, and refined brand systems where high contrast can read as intentional sophistication. It can also suit book covers and formal print pieces when set with comfortable size and spacing to protect the thin details.
The tone is luxurious and poised, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward polish. High-contrast detailing and needle-like serifs lend a dramatic, upscale voice suited to sophisticated branding and culture-led design.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif—balancing editorial clarity with display-level finesse. Its sharp terminals and sculpted curves suggest a focus on elegance, hierarchy, and premium tone in both titles and carefully set body copy.
Round forms stay open and airy, giving the face a bright page color, while numerals echo the same fine terminals and contrast for a consistent typographic palette. Diacritics (as seen on ö) are light and crisp, matching the hairline detailing.
