A refined serif with striking thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are delicate and mostly bracketed, with a slightly calligraphic flare where strokes transition into terminals. Proportions feel classical and vertical, with generous counters and a clean, open rhythm in text. Uppercase forms are stately and high-waisted, while the lowercase shows compact, neatly controlled joins and slender extenders; numerals follow the same sharp contrast and poised balance.
Well-suited for magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, and other premium identity work where a sophisticated, high-contrast serif is desired. It performs especially well in headlines, pull quotes, and display settings, and can also support elegant short-form reading in carefully typeset editorial layouts.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, projecting a quiet authority with a distinctly editorial sheen. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing lend a dramatic, couture-like voice that feels premium rather than rustic or utilitarian.
Likely designed to provide a modern, high-fashion take on a traditional text serif: preserving classical structure and readability while emphasizing contrast, sharp finishing, and a polished display presence.
The design relies on precision: thin strokes and pointed terminals give it a bright, glossy texture at larger sizes, while the contrast creates a lively sparkle across lines of text. Curved letters show smooth, continuous stress, and diagonals (like in V/W/X) read as taut and tailored rather than broad or heavy.
