A refined serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong thick–thin modulation that gives the letterforms a bright, polished sheen. Serifs are delicate and sharply cut, with minimal bracketing and clean, tapered joins. Curves show a pronounced vertical stress, and counters are elegantly proportioned, producing a lively rhythm across text. The overall spacing and proportions feel tailored for display: tall capitals, confident vertical stems, and punctuation rendered with a similarly precise, high-contrast finish.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial typography where sharp detail and contrast can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and event materials such as invitations or programs, especially where a sophisticated, fashion-forward voice is desired.
The tone is poised and high-end, mixing classical bookish heritage with a contemporary editorial gloss. Its dramatic contrast and fine details communicate sophistication and a sense of luxury, making it feel at home in fashion-led and culture-focused contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-fashion serif voice with strong typographic drama and a clean, modern finish. It prioritizes refinement and visual impact through precise hairlines, vertical stress, and crisp serif detailing.
In the samples, the thinnest strokes and serifs read as intentionally hairline, creating sparkle at larger sizes and adding a delicate edge to diagonals and cross-strokes. The numerals and capitals carry the same high-contrast discipline, giving headings a crisp, formal presence.
