A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms favor verticality and clean, controlled curves, with bracketed-to-minimally bracketed serifs that read sharp at display sizes. Round capitals are smooth and open, while diagonals (V, W, X) are taut and high-contrast. Lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with a moderate x-height, crisp joins, and a two-storey a and g; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with thin hairline features and elegant proportions.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where its high contrast and hairline details can be appreciated. It also works for short-form editorial settings at comfortable sizes, particularly in print or high-resolution digital layouts.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, suggesting high-end editorial and fashion contexts. Its sharp contrast and precise detailing convey formality, polish, and a classic print-centric sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic, high-fashion serif voice with strong vertical emphasis and dramatic contrast, optimizing for elegance and impact in prominent typographic roles.
In the text sample, the thin strokes and fine serifs become visually prominent, giving the face a sparkling texture but also making it feel more delicate as size decreases. The design maintains consistent contrast and spacing across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive, disciplined color on the page.
