A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a crisp, vertical stress. Hairline serifs and thin connecting strokes sit against fuller stems, creating a sharp, high-precision texture at display sizes. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are relatively open, and terminals tend toward clean, pointed finishes rather than soft rounding. The uppercase feels stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a measured rhythm with compact joins and clear, carefully cut details.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial typography where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury brand identities, packaging, and cultural posters, and can work for short passages in high-quality print or large, well-spaced digital settings.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a fashion-and-editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and fine hairlines project elegance and authority, lending a sense of exclusivity and quiet prestige.
Likely designed to evoke classical, high-end serif typography with an emphasis on dramatic contrast, sharp finishing, and a composed editorial rhythm. The goal appears to be premium display performance with an elegant, authoritative voice.
In text, the thin strokes and hairline serifs create a shimmering, airy color that benefits from generous size and comfortable line spacing. Numerals match the same contrast-led logic, reading as refined and display-forward rather than utilitarian.
