A refined serif with sharply tapered hairlines and broad, confident main strokes, creating a clean, high-fashion contrast. Serifs are bracketed and neatly finished, with pointed wedge-like terminals appearing in letters such as C, S, and the diagonals of V/W. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly sculpted, giving round letters (O, Q) a polished, editorial feel, while the overall rhythm remains steady and upright. Lowercase forms show compact, controlled shapes with crisp joins; the italic is not shown, but the roman exhibits subtle calligraphic influence in stroke modulation and terminal shaping. Numerals echo the same contrast and sharp finishing, with open counters and a poised, display-ready stance.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent typographic moments where its contrast and crisp terminals can be appreciated. It fits especially well in magazine layouts, luxury branding, cultural posters, and book-cover typography, and can also work for short editorial passages when size and reproduction keep the hairlines intact.
The tone is elegant and image-conscious—confident, upscale, and distinctly editorial. Its dramatic contrast and knife-clean details suggest sophistication and a modern take on classic bookish refinement, leaning toward fashion and cultural publishing rather than utilitarian text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary editorial serif with classic roots—pairing traditional proportions and bracketed serifs with sharper terminals and heightened stroke contrast for a fashion-forward, premium voice.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as extremely delicate against the strong verticals, emphasizing a luxurious, print-like crispness. The sharp terminal treatment on diagonals and the tight, controlled apertures give the design a precise, curated character.
