A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. The letterforms pair sturdy, sculpted main strokes with extremely fine hairlines and sharp, delicate serifs, creating a crisp, high-gloss rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and well-balanced, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with clean, open counters and a distinctly calligraphic contrast logic. Numerals echo the same dramatic modulation, with slender joins and tapered terminals that keep the texture airy at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, lookbooks, and premium branding where elegant contrast and sharp detailing can take center stage. It also works well for posters, invitations, and product packaging that aims for a sophisticated, upscale impression.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, projecting an editorial and fashion-forward sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and formal posture give it a poised, classical presence with a slightly dramatic, high-end finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial take on a classic high-contrast serif tradition, emphasizing dramatic modulation, crisp detailing, and a controlled, formal rhythm for display-led typography.
In the text sample, spacing and stroke contrast produce a bright, shimmering color; the finest strokes read as delicate accents rather than structural weight. The design relies on sharp joins and thin horizontals, so it visually rewards larger sizes where the hairlines can remain distinct.
