A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, needle-like hairlines. The capitals are tall and stately with sharp, straight serifs and clean joins, while the rounds show a clear vertical stress and smooth, controlled curves. Lowercase forms keep a measured rhythm with narrow shoulders and delicate terminals; the two-storey “g” and compact “r” contribute to a composed, text-ready texture. Numerals follow the same disciplined contrast, with slender horizontals and strong verticals that read as formal and polished.
Well suited to magazine typography, fashion and beauty layouts, and high-end brand identities where refined contrast and crisp detail are desirable. It performs especially well for display sizes—headlines, pull quotes, and elegant titling—and can work in short to medium text passages when reproduction is clean and generous leading is available.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, conveying a sense of luxury and cultivated restraint. Its sharp finishing and high-contrast rhythm evoke fashion, art publishing, and premium branding rather than casual or utilitarian contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classical serif forms, prioritizing elegance, tension between thick and thin strokes, and a poised, formal voice for premium editorial and branding use.
In longer text the face creates a bright, airy page color punctuated by strong vertical strokes, giving paragraphs a sophisticated cadence. The thin connecting strokes and fine serifs suggest it will shine best when print quality or rendering is carefully controlled and sizes are not too small.
