A refined serif with sharply tapered hairlines, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and crisp, clean stroke endings. Serifs are delicate and finely cut, with subtle bracketing that keeps joins smooth despite the extreme contrast. Proportions feel high-waisted with relatively tall capitals and a measured, text-friendly lowercase; counters are open and carefully balanced. Curves are drawn with a calligraphic smoothness (notably in C, G, and S), while diagonals and joins stay precise, producing a polished, high-end rhythm in both display sizes and larger text settings.
Best suited to magazine headlines, cover lines, and elegant editorial typography where the fine hairlines can be rendered cleanly. It also fits luxury branding, invitations, and high-end packaging, especially when used at medium-to-large sizes with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, evoking classic editorial typography and high-fashion branding. Its sharp contrast and poised detailing communicate sophistication and formality, with a cool, modern finish rather than a warm, rustic feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: dramatic enough for display, yet disciplined in spacing and proportions for refined editorial composition. The emphasis is on elegance, precision, and premium visual impact without ornamental excess.
Uppercase forms read stately and controlled, while the lowercase introduces gentle liveliness through varied stroke terminations and slightly calligraphic shaping. Numerals match the letterforms’ finesse, with elegant curves and thin entry strokes that reinforce the refined texture in running text.
