A high-contrast serif with a strong vertical axis, crisp hairline serifs, and sharply tapered joins. The capitals are stately and wide-shouldered with clean, sculpted curves (notably in C, G, and S) and pointed apexes on forms like A and V. Lowercase shapes keep a traditional, text-oriented construction with compact bowls and disciplined modulation; the italics are not shown, and the roman maintains a steady, upright rhythm. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with elegant curves and fine, delicate entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand systems that need an elevated, premium voice. It will also perform strongly in packaging and poster work where the high-contrast detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting sophistication and a fashion-forward sense of luxury. Its dramatic thick–thin transitions and restrained detailing create a poised, high-end feel suited to premium messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic serif for high-impact display and refined editorial settings, emphasizing elegance through pronounced modulation, vertical stress, and crisp, carefully finished serifs.
Across both the glyph grid and the paragraph sample, spacing and stroke modulation read consistently, with fine hairlines that add sparkle at display sizes. The design balances sharpness (in terminals and serifs) with smooth, controlled curves, producing a composed page color despite the pronounced contrast.
