A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-fine hairlines, creating a crisp, sparkling texture on the page. Serifs are delicate and generally bracketed, with sharp, tapered terminals that feel cut rather than rounded. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly narrow in impression, while the lowercase shows lively calligraphic influence—noticeable in the two-storey a and g, the pointed joins, and the sinuous curves. Overall spacing and proportions support a polished rhythm, with punctuation and numerals matching the same high-contrast, dressy construction.
Well-suited to magazine and editorial design, book covers, and premium brand identities where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry the voice. It excels in headlines, decks, and pull quotes, and can work for shorter passages of text in print or high-resolution digital contexts where its fine hairlines won’t be lost.
The tone is elegant and cultured, projecting a high-end editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and fine details evoke fashion, literature, and classic publishing, with a confident, slightly dramatic presence in headlines and pull quotes.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward take on a classic serif: clean, high-contrast forms with subtle calligraphic nuance for an elevated, literary feel. The intent appears to balance traditional proportions with sharper detailing to create a distinctive, upscale typographic color.
Curves often end in keen, needle-like tips, and several letters feature subtly asymmetrical, calligraphy-derived strokes that add sophistication without becoming ornamental. The italic is not shown; the style presented reads as a display-leaning text serif that remains composed in paragraph settings when given enough size and breathing room.
