A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline finishing. Serifs are small and sharp, often wedge-like, with long, tapered curves and clean, vertical stress that gives bowls and rounds a polished, sculpted feel. Proportions lean tall with a stately cap presence, while lowercase forms stay disciplined and open, producing a smooth text rhythm. Figures are similarly stylized, with delicate joins and dramatic contrast that matches the letterforms.
Best suited to editorial display settings such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes, as well as luxury-oriented branding and packaging. It also works well for posters and formal printed pieces where crisp contrast and elegant detail can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a boutique editorial sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and formal proportions read as confident and premium, with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge rather than a purely bookish mood.
The design appears intended as a modern, conventional serif with elevated contrast and finely finished details, balancing classic letterform structure with a sleek, contemporary polish for high-end display and editorial typography.
Curves frequently resolve into fine, pointed terminals, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) have a chiseled, calligraphic cleanliness. The font maintains consistent contrast behavior across letters and numerals, creating a cohesive, high-fidelity look that rewards generous sizing and careful spacing.
