A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are small and lightly bracketed, with sharp, tapered joins that emphasize a clean, high-definition rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and measured, while the lowercase shows lively detailing—noticeable ball and teardrop terminals, a compact ear on the g, and a distinctly curling tail on y—adding personality without disrupting text flow. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate entry strokes and ornamental curves on select numerals.
Well suited to magazine typography, headlines, and display-led editorial layouts where contrast and nuance can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and event materials when paired with generous spacing and a clean supporting sans. In longer text, it is likely to be most comfortable in well-printed, adequately sized settings that preserve the fine strokes.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, projecting an editorial and fashion-forward sensibility. Its contrast and fine detailing lend a luxurious, confident voice that feels suited to curated, premium contexts rather than utilitarian work.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast text serif—combining traditional proportions with sharpened finishing and a few expressive lowercase cues. Its detailing suggests a focus on sophisticated display and editorial use while remaining orderly enough to anchor structured typography.
At larger sizes the sharp finishing and delicate serifs read especially crisp, while in dense settings the hairline strokes and tight details become a key part of its character. The design maintains a consistent vertical emphasis across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive page color despite the expressive terminals.
