A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and weighty main stems, producing a crisp black-on-white rhythm at text and display sizes. Serifs are fine and pointed, often wedge-like, with gentle bracketing that smooths transitions into the stems. Curves show a predominantly vertical stress and tight, clean apertures; counters stay open but controlled, giving the face a tailored, polished silhouette. Proportions lean slightly narrow with noticeable glyph-to-glyph width variation, and the numerals and capitals carry a dignified, sculpted presence.
Best suited to editorial typography, magazine layouts, and fashion or beauty branding where high-contrast detail can be showcased. It will also perform well in posters, headlines, pull quotes, and premium packaging or identity systems that benefit from a refined, classic-but-current serif texture.
The overall tone reads sophisticated and couture-leaning, combining classic bookish authority with a contemporary, gallery-ready sharpness. It feels poised and premium, with enough drama in the contrast to suggest luxury and headline impact rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxe, display-forward serif voice built on strong vertical structure and dramatic stroke modulation. It aims for a polished reading rhythm in larger sizes while projecting sophistication and authority in titles and brand-led applications.
Uppercase forms appear particularly stately with long, delicate serifs and carefully tapered joins, while lowercase maintains a smooth, even texture with clean bowls and restrained modulation. The punctuation and figures match the same crisp, chiseled finishing, reinforcing a consistent, formal voice.
