A refined text serif with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes transition into delicate hairlines and sharply cut serifs, creating crisp joins and clean, controlled curves. Proportions are relatively narrow with a stately rhythm, and counters are generously shaped, especially in round letters, giving the design an open, polished texture at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast logic, with fine horizontal elements and confident, weighty verticals.
This font suits magazine and newspaper-style headlines, fashion or luxury branding, and elegant titling for books or cultural materials. It performs best in larger sizes where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be clearly reproduced, making it a strong choice for posters, pull quotes, and refined editorial layouts.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, projecting a sense of sophistication and formality. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing evoke fashion and cultural publishing, where a polished, high-end voice is desired.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a premium, contemporary finish. It aims to balance traditional elegance with crisp modernity, emphasizing vertical structure, clean terminals, and a composed typographic color for sophisticated display and editorial use.
The design’s fine details—particularly the hairline serifs and thin cross strokes—make the letterforms feel sharp and luxurious, while the consistent vertical stress keeps paragraphs looking orderly and composed. In the sample text, spacing appears measured and even, supporting a smooth reading rhythm when set large.
