A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline detailing. The letterforms show vertical stress, tall capitals, and a composed, slightly condensed rhythm that reads elegant rather than utilitarian. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, with crisp transitions into stems and a generally clean, contemporary drawing. Lowercase proportions feel balanced with a modest x-height, and the overall color on the page is light and airy due to the slender horizontals and thin serifs.
Best suited to headlines, magazine settings, and prominent typographic moments where the contrast can be appreciated. It also fits luxury-leaning brand identities, packaging, and elegant event materials, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The tone is poised and upscale, with a distinctly editorial feel. Its dramatic contrast and polished silhouettes suggest fashion, culture, and premium branding rather than everyday body copy at small sizes.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice with strong typographic contrast and a calm, editorial rhythm. It prioritizes elegance and impact in display and title settings while maintaining conventional, readable letter structures.
The design relies on precision: thin strokes and hairlines become a key part of the personality, while round letters keep a smooth, controlled curve quality. Numerals match the same high-contrast logic, giving figures a formal, display-oriented presence.
