A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical axis. Stems are sleek and straight, while hairline serifs and tapered, subtly flared terminals give edges a crisp, chiseled finish rather than blunt brackets. Counters are generous and smooth, with narrow joins and fine connecting strokes that keep the silhouette light and precise. Proportions lean tall and graceful, with a comparatively low x-height, long ascenders, and clean, open forms that read best when given room.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, and other display typography where contrast and hairline detailing can shine. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, invitations, and poster work that benefits from a refined, classical serif voice, while longer passages may require comfortable sizing and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a poised, couture sensibility. Its sharp contrasts and refined details suggest formality and sophistication, evoking magazine typography and classic bookish elegance rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with a distinctly upscale feel, pairing crisp hairlines with sculpted, flared finishing to create a dramatic yet controlled presence. Its proportions and detailing prioritize elegance and impact over rugged versatility.
The numerals mirror the letterforms with strong contrast and sculpted curves, producing an equally dressy, display-forward rhythm. In text, the thin strokes and pointed terminals create a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes where the fine detailing remains visible.
