A high-contrast serif with a crisp, editorial look: thick vertical stems pair with very thin hairlines and delicate serifs. Proportions run on the wider side, with roomy counters and a confident, upright stance. Serifs are fine and sharply finished—often lightly bracketed—while curved letters show smooth, controlled modulation and predominantly vertical stress. The lowercase has a moderate x-height and prominent ascenders, with clear, tidy joins and occasional ball or teardrop terminals that add polish without becoming ornamental. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with elegant curves and slender connecting strokes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and magazine typography where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also support premium branding—packaging, beauty, hospitality, and cultural materials—where a modern classic serif voice helps convey sophistication. For body text, it will favor comfortable sizes and generous leading to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, balancing classical book-seriffed authority with fashion-forward drama. Its bright hairlines and sculpted curves create a sense of precision and luxury, making text feel curated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-contrast text and display serif that elevates layout with sharp finishing and generous proportions. It aims to deliver classic serif credibility while emphasizing a more dramatic, fashion-oriented sparkle in curves and terminals.
At display sizes the contrast and hairline detailing read especially clean and sophisticated, with a strong rhythm created by weighty verticals and airy internal space. In longer settings, the wide set and sharp detailing give it a distinct, magazine-like color and cadence.
