A refined serif with dramatic stroke modulation, pairing razor-thin hairlines with pronounced vertical stems. Serifs are sharp and delicately bracketed, giving joins a smooth, sculpted transition rather than a blunt termination. Curves are taut and well controlled, with round forms that feel slightly narrow and vertical in stress. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey “a” and “g,” compact apertures, and a clean, consistent rhythm that stays composed at larger sizes.
Best suited to magazine typography, book jackets, and brand identities where elegance and sharp detail are an asset. It excels in headlines, pull quotes, and short passages at comfortable sizes, and can add a premium tone to packaging or identity systems that need a classic, high-end voice.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its crisp contrast and slender details evoke fashion publishing, cultural institutions, and classic print refinement rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to reinterpret conventional text serif proportions through a more couture, high-contrast lens—prioritizing sophistication, clarity of silhouette, and a polished editorial texture.
Capital forms read stately and spacious, while the lowercase maintains a calmer texture, helping mixed-case text feel balanced. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin connecting strokes and prominent main stems that reinforce a luxurious, display-leaning feel.
