A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. The design favors a vertical, upright stance and a clean, sculpted rhythm, with sharp wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals that stay delicate even in heavier strokes. Uppercase forms read stately and controlled, while the lowercase keeps a traditional structure with a two-storey a and g, narrow joins, and compact, neatly modeled bowls. Numerals follow the same contrast and refinement, pairing sturdy stems with fine, precise curves.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and display settings where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging when used with generous spacing and appropriate sizes, and it works effectively for book covers or section heads that need a classic yet contemporary voice.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking classic print typography with a distinctly modern, fashion-forward gloss. Its contrast and crisp details suggest sophistication and formality, lending a sense of prestige and careful curation.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-fashion take on a conventional text serif: classic construction and readability cues, elevated through strong contrast and precise, hairline finishing. It aims to project authority and elegance while maintaining a disciplined, print-oriented typographic texture.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright, airy texture, while the heavier verticals provide strong anchoring. The italics are not shown, but the roman’s sharp terminals and vertical stress make it especially dependent on sufficient size and reproduction quality to preserve its fine details.
