A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, combining sculpted curves with sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs read as fine and pointed, with bracketed transitions that keep the joins fluid while preserving a chiseled, print-like finish. Proportions feel open and slightly expansive, with generous counters and a steady, upright stance that stays composed in longer text.
Well-suited to magazines, book jackets, and cultural or lifestyle publishing where a sophisticated serif is needed for headlines, decks, and pull quotes. It also fits luxury branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from crisp contrast and elegant detailing. For body text, it will perform best at moderate-to-large sizes and in high-quality print or high-resolution digital settings where the fine hairlines can be preserved.
This typeface conveys a poised, editorial tone with a sense of refinement and formality. Its sharp elegance and controlled rhythm feel suited to premium, culture-forward communication rather than casual or playful contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished, high-end serif voice that remains readable while showcasing contrast and finesse. It balances traditional book-type cues with a more fashion/editorial sharpness, aiming for impact in headlines while still holding together in paragraphs at comfortable sizes.
The numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast, finely finished construction, giving a consistent, premium typographic color. In the sample text, the face maintains a calm baseline rhythm while the sharp terminals and thin horizontals add sparkle and a slightly dramatic edge.
