A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and strong, tapered main stems. Serifs are fine and sharply defined, with gentle bracketing and a distinctly calligraphic stress that shows up in rounded forms and diagonals. Proportions are slightly condensed-to-neutral in capitals with elegant, long verticals, while lowercase forms keep a readable, traditional structure and moderate extenders. Curves resolve into pointed terminals in places, giving the design a polished, high-fashion sharpness without becoming brittle.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities that benefit from a refined, high-contrast voice. It also works well for premium packaging, invitations, and pull quotes where its sharp serifs and elegant modulation can carry the layout.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, combining classic bookish manners with a dramatic, modern edge. It reads as poised and formal, with enough contrast and sparkle to feel premium and attention-grabbing in display settings.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif: traditional construction and readability paired with heightened contrast and precise details for a distinctly editorial, luxury-forward presence.
Round letters maintain a consistent stress and a clean, glossy rhythm, and the numerals echo the same contrast and refinement. The design holds together well at large sizes where its hairlines and pointed details can be appreciated, while dense settings will emphasize its sharp, high-contrast texture.
