A high-contrast serif with hairline thins and pronounced, smoothly bracketed serifs. The curves are finely drawn and slightly calligraphic in stress, with crisp joins and tapered terminals that keep counters open despite the thin strokes. Proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase shows lively modulation—especially in the two-storey a and g—creating a sophisticated rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same sharp contrast and delicate detailing, reading best when given enough size and print-like conditions.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and elegant editorial typography where its contrast can read clearly. It can also support premium branding—especially in beauty, fashion, culture, and hospitality—when used with generous spacing and strong printing or screen rendering. For longer passages, it will perform best at comfortable sizes and with sufficient leading to preserve the delicacy of its thins.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial, magazine-ready presence. Its sharp contrast and poised silhouettes convey confidence, formality, and a sense of craft rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classical high-contrast text serif: authoritative and readable in short-to-medium settings, yet unmistakably tailored for striking, refined display typography.
In the sample text, word shapes look stable and well-paced, but the finest strokes and hairline serifs are visually prominent, making the design feel most at home in display sizes or high-quality reproduction. The uppercase forms carry a stately, classical air, while the lowercase adds a slightly contemporary crispness through tight apertures and energetic terminals.
