A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs that taper to sharp points. The curves show a predominantly vertical stress, with smooth, open bowls and carefully controlled joins that keep counters clear despite the delicate horizontals. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with moderately long ascenders and descenders; terminals often finish in small balls or fine, tapered flicks. Numerals and punctuation carry the same polished contrast, with slender spines and sturdy verticals that hold the texture together in display sizes.
Best suited to editorial layouts, magazine and fashion headlines, and brand identities where a high-end, classic voice is desired. It also works well for book covers and pull quotes where the dramatic contrast can be showcased at larger sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and cultivated, evoking luxury editorial typography and formal print traditions. It reads as poised and confident rather than rustic or casual, with a polished sheen suited to premium branding and tasteful headlines.
Likely designed to deliver an elegant, contemporary take on traditional high-contrast serifs, emphasizing graceful curves, sharp finishing, and a premium print feel for display-led typography.
The design relies on very fine horizontals and details, so it will visually reward generous sizes and good reproduction. The uppercase forms are especially commanding, and the lowercase adds a slightly calligraphic liveliness through tapered terminals and subtle curvature changes.
