A refined serif with hairline-thin unbracketed serifs and dramatic thick–thin modulation. Vertical stems carry most of the weight while horizontals and joins fall to very fine lines, producing a crisp, high-gloss texture. Capitals are proportioned with classical restraint and sharp apexes, while the lowercase shows a modest x-height and compact, vertical rhythm. Curves are clean and controlled (notably in C/G/O/Q), and the numerals share the same poised contrast and tapered terminals, giving the set a consistent, polished feel.
This font is well suited to magazine headlines, large-size editorial typography, luxury branding, and packaging where its sharp contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It also works for pull quotes, titles, and refined invitations when set with generous spacing and careful attention to output quality.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a cool, editorial sophistication. Its delicate detailing and pronounced contrast evoke premium fashion, art-book, and heritage-luxe cues rather than everyday utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern classic with pronounced contrast and a couture-like finish—prioritizing elegance, precision, and visual drama for display-led typography.
In the sample paragraph the hairlines and thin serifs create a bright, sparkling page color, especially at larger sizes. The design reads best where reproduction is clean and resolution is high, as the finest strokes become a defining part of the personality.
