A high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered serifs, producing a crisp, polished rhythm on the page. Capitals are narrow and poised with fine joins and smooth, round bowls; the O and Q read as clean ovals, with a delicate Q tail. Lowercase shows a traditional book-seriff structure with a two-storey a, a looped g, and a compact, slightly calligraphic italic-less construction; terminals often finish in thin, pointed wedges. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin entry strokes that emphasize verticality and precision.
Well-suited to magazine and book display typography—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and title pages—where its contrast and sharp serifs can shine. It also fits premium branding applications such as fashion, beauty, hospitality, and formal invitations, especially at sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, balancing classic formality with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its pronounced contrast and fine details convey sophistication, restraint, and a premium feel that suits polished typography rather than utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end take on conventional serif typography: tightly drawn proportions, dramatic stroke modulation, and carefully finished serifs for a clean, sophisticated presence in editorial and brand-led layouts.
In text, the fine hairlines and narrow internal joins create a sparkling texture and a strong vertical cadence. The ampersand is notably decorative and curving, reinforcing a refined display character while remaining consistent with the serif vocabulary.
