A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are sharp and bracketless in feel, with delicate finishing strokes and a polished, engraved rhythm. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow, with round forms (C, O, Q) showing clean, controlled curves and a distinctive, sweeping Q tail. Lowercase features a double-storey g with a prominent ear, a compact, open-bowled e, and a slender, slightly calligraphic overall stance; spacing reads measured and formal, favoring verticality and contrast over softness.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, posters, and book or album covers where its contrast and sharp serifs can read clearly. It can also support premium branding and logotypes when used at sizes large enough to preserve its fine details.
The tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a fashion-editorial sensibility with a distinctly classic, high-end print feel. Its sharp details and bright hairlines communicate sophistication and ceremony more than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on formal, high-contrast serif styling—optimized for impactful titles and elegant editorial settings. Its narrow proportions, crisp terminals, and controlled curves suggest an emphasis on sophistication and visual drama in print-like compositions.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine terminals that echo the caps. In the text sample, the letterforms maintain a consistent, polished texture at display sizes, where the thin strokes and pointed serifs become a defining feature.
