A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly vertical, composed rhythm. Stems are firm and straight while hairlines and serifs taper to needle-fine points, creating crisp joins and sharp finishing strokes. Capitals feel stately and roomy with clean proportions; diagonals (A, V, W, X) show dramatic contrast, and curves (C, O, S) carry smooth, controlled modulation. The lowercase is compact and orderly with a modest x-height, slender ascenders, and delicate entry strokes; the overall spacing reads open and poised, especially in larger text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and luxury-oriented branding where fine contrast can be showcased. It also works well for book covers and pull quotes at larger sizes, where its sharp serifs and controlled curves read as deliberate and sophisticated.
The tone is polished and high-end, suggesting couture editorial design and classic literary sophistication. Its delicate details and precise contrast give it a formal, gallery-like presence that feels premium and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on classic serif traditions, emphasizing elegance through extreme contrast, vertical structure, and precise, hairline finishing.
In the sample text, the hairline details stay crisp at display sizes and the ampersand and punctuation inherit the same razor-fine finishing. Numerals appear similarly contrasty and stylized, reinforcing the font’s display-forward refinement.
