A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering serifs. Forms are generally upright with a composed, bookish rhythm, and the contrast is especially evident in round letters and diagonals. Capitals feel stately and slightly expanded, while lowercase shows clear calligraphic influence through a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and delicate hairline terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with sculpted curves and firm, stable verticals.
Well suited to editorial design, magazine headlines, and book titling where high-contrast refinement is an asset. It can also support premium branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, upscale voice, especially at display sizes or in generously spaced text settings.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, projecting sophistication and authority. Its sharp detailing and glossy contrast give it a couture/editorial edge, while the conventional skeletons keep it rooted in classic typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text serif: conventional letter structures paired with dramatic contrast and crisp finishing to elevate tone and impact. It aims to balance readability with a distinctly luxurious, high-end presence.
At larger sizes the hairlines and fine joins read particularly crisp and luxurious, while in dense settings the dramatic modulation can make spacing and texture feel lively and bright. The design’s emphasis on elegant curves and pointed terminals creates strong word-shape character in titles and short text.
