A sharply modeled serif with strong thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline finishing. Forms show a predominantly vertical stress, smooth, round bowls, and crisp joins that create a clean, polished rhythm. Serifs are fine and tapered rather than blocky, with a mix of wedge-like terminals and hairline finishing that reads especially clearly in capitals and lining figures. Spacing appears even and composed for display sizing, with narrow hairlines and pronounced stroke contrast shaping a bright, high-end texture.
Best suited to display typography where its hairlines and contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, elegant brand identities, beauty/fashion packaging, and formal invitations. It can also work for short text blocks or pull quotes in editorial layouts, especially at sizes large enough to preserve the delicate details.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a slightly dramatic edge from the intense contrast. It feels formal and cultivated, leaning more toward sophistication than warmth, and suggests premium, curated communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif: traditional proportions and vertical stress paired with highly refined, high-contrast drawing. The focus is on elegance and impact, creating a premium voice for editorial and branding applications.
Uppercase proportions feel stately with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while lowercase maintains a traditional book-seriffed structure with crisp, finely drawn details. Numerals follow the same refined logic, pairing bold main strokes with needle-thin horizontals and terminals for a cohesive, boutique look.
