This serif presents a crisp, high-contrast structure with hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation across stems and curves. Proportions feel balanced and traditionally bookish, with a steady baseline rhythm and generous counters that keep forms open despite the sharp detailing. Terminals are clean and pointed, with lightly bracketed serifs and smooth, controlled curves in rounds; joins and shoulders stay taut, giving the design a polished, precise finish. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and appear designed for text, with clear differentiation and elegant curves.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine features, and book typography where a refined serif texture is desired. It also fits branding applications—especially in beauty, fashion, and hospitality—along with premium packaging and large-format headlines that can showcase the contrast and hairline details.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, projecting refinement and a premium feel. Its sharp contrast and poised letterforms evoke classic print typography associated with fashion, culture, and high-end publishing.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text serif: maintain conventional proportions and readability while emphasizing sharp, elegant contrast for a more luxurious, high-end voice.
The face holds up well at display sizes where the hairlines and small details read as intentional and sophisticated; in smaller settings, the delicacy of the thinnest strokes suggests careful attention to size and reproduction. Uppercase forms look stately and composed, while the lowercase keeps a traditional, readable texture with a subtle calligraphic influence.
