A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline serifs. The capitals are stately and slightly expansive, with smooth, rounded bowls and crisp entry/exit points that create a polished, print-like texture. Curves show a strong vertical stress, while joins and terminals are clean and tapered, giving counters a bright, open feel. Overall spacing and proportions read as composed and formal, with a confident headline rhythm.
This font is best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, brand marks, and other display settings where its contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It also works well for pull quotes and short passages in print-like compositions, particularly when paired with a restrained sans for supporting text.
The tone is luxurious and poised, evoking fashion publishing and premium branding. Its crisp contrast and fine detailing feel sophisticated and dramatic rather than casual, giving text a sense of ceremony and polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic serif voice with strong contrast and a polished, editorial character. Its forms prioritize elegance and impact, aiming for a premium look that reads as contemporary yet rooted in traditional serif conventions.
The design’s thin strokes and delicate serifs create a sparkling page color at larger sizes, while the sturdier main stems keep letterforms stable and legible. Numerals match the same refined contrast and display-oriented finish, reinforcing a cohesive, high-end voice across headings and figures.
