A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline detailing. Stems are straight and vertical with a clear vertical stress, while curves resolve into fine terminals that give letters a slightly calligraphic, engraved feel. Serifs are small and sharp, generally unbracketed, and the overall construction favors tall capitals and a compact x-height, producing a stately rhythm. The design shows a subtle organic liveliness in curves and joins (notably in S, a, g, and numerals), balancing strict contrast with a lightly hand-drawn edge.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, title pages, and luxury brand marks where its hairline details can be appreciated. It also fits formal collateral like invitations, packaging, and high-end identity systems, especially when used with ample whitespace and controlled reproduction conditions.
The font projects high-end sophistication and drama—more runway and magazine than utilitarian text. Its thin hairlines and poised proportions feel luxurious and formal, with a hint of vintage editorial charm.
The design appears intended as a modern high-contrast serif for sophisticated display work, emphasizing elegance through vertical stress, razor-thin hairlines, and crisp serifs. Its compact lowercase proportions and lively curves suggest an aim to feel both classical and fashion-forward rather than purely neutral.
At larger sizes the fine internal strokes and hairline serifs read as intentional detailing; at smaller sizes those same features may demand generous spacing and careful contrast against the background. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegantly tapered strokes and slightly varied widths that suit display settings.
