A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly vertical rhythm. Hairline serifs and fine connections contrast with broad main stems, producing crisp, high-definition letterforms. Capitals are stately and proportioned for display, while the lowercase shows a short x-height with relatively tall ascenders/descenders that adds air and sophistication. Curves are smooth and controlled, with tapered joins and clean, lightly bracketed serifs; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, alternating sturdy verticals with needle-like horizontals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, and brand work where an elegant, premium impression is desired. It excels in large sizes for titles, pull quotes, and poster typography, and can work for short passages when ample size and leading preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking classic print typography and contemporary luxury branding. Its sharp contrast and measured proportions feel formal and composed, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on high-contrast, vertical-stress serif tradition, prioritizing sophistication and visual drama. Its short x-height, hairline serifs, and crisp modulation point to display-led performance with a strong emphasis on editorial polish.
Spacing appears generous in the sample text, enhancing the font’s lightness and clarity at larger sizes. The hairlines and sharp serifs create a sparkling texture in headlines, while the short x-height and thin horizontals suggest more careful use at smaller sizes or in dense settings.
