A refined serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms feel vertically oriented and carefully proportioned, with smooth, round bowls and sharp, clean joins that emphasize a polished rhythm in text. Serifs are narrow and precise, with a generally modern, high-fashion sensibility; curves and horizontals often taper to fine points, and counters remain open and legible at display sizes.
This style excels in magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle editorial, and brand identities that benefit from a cultivated, upscale voice. It is also well-suited to packaging, invitations, and campaign typography where sharp contrast and fine detail can be rendered clearly at larger sizes.
The overall tone is elegant and high-end, projecting a sense of sophistication and editorial authority. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing details add a poised, somewhat formal character that reads as premium and curated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif look with a classic editorial pedigree—balancing graceful curves with precise, hairline finishing for a premium, contemporary impression in display and headline contexts.
The face maintains an even, composed texture in continuous setting while still showing strong sparkle from the contrast and fine serifs. Numerals appear similarly high-contrast and styled to match the uppercase, reinforcing a cohesive, dressy typographic color.
