A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. Curves are smooth and taut, with sharp, bracketless serifs and a polished, print-like finish. Capitals show elegant proportions with a steady vertical stress, while lowercase forms maintain a composed rhythm and relatively compact joins, creating a clean, high-end texture in text. Numerals and punctuation match the same razor-edged contrast, with delicate horizontals and confident vertical stems.
Well suited to magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, and luxury brand identities where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also work for pull quotes, invitations, and premium packaging, especially at display sizes where its hairline details remain crisp.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, projecting sophistication and authority with a distinctly fashion-forward edge. Its strong contrast and immaculate detailing give it a dramatic, curated feel suited to premium branding and headline settings.
Likely designed to evoke classic high-contrast serif traditions with a contemporary, sharpened finish for modern editorial and brand applications. The emphasis appears to be on elegance, dramatic hierarchy, and a premium visual voice rather than utilitarian small-size robustness.
The design relies on very fine strokes for crossbars, serifs, and internal connections, which makes spacing and letterfit feel airy and precise. The sample text shows a smooth, consistent color at larger sizes, while the thinnest details read as intentionally delicate.
