A refined serif with a strong vertical rhythm and crisp, hairline detailing. Strokes shift quickly from thick stems to extremely thin hairlines, and the serifs are narrow and finely bracketed, giving the forms a precise, polished finish. Capitals are tall and sculpted with generous inner space, while the lowercase keeps a measured, bookish proportion with clear apertures and carefully tapered joins. Curves are smooth and controlled, with teardrop-like terminals and delicate crossbars that emphasize the type’s contrast-driven texture.
Well-suited to magazine typography, editorial layouts, and high-impact headlines where its contrast and hairline serifs can shine. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, invitations, and posters that benefit from a polished, couture-like presence.
The overall tone is elegant and high-end, projecting a fashion-forward, editorial sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions feel formal and curated, lending a sense of prestige and sophistication to headings and display settings.
Designed to deliver a classic serif structure with a contemporary, high-contrast finish, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a refined typographic voice. The consistent vertical emphasis and delicate detailing suggest an intention toward display-forward editorial use while remaining disciplined enough for carefully set short text.
At larger sizes the fine details read as intentional and luxurious, while in denser text the thin strokes create a bright, airy page color. The numerals share the same contrast and finesse, with slender diagonals and small, precise finishing strokes that match the letterforms.
