A refined modern serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketless hairline serifs. The letterforms show tall, fashion-oriented proportions in the capitals, with smooth, round bowls and sharply tapered joins that create a polished, high-end rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and controlled, with delicate terminals and a restrained, bookish structure; counters stay fairly open despite the thin horizontals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy vertical stems with hairline cross-strokes for a sharp, display-ready texture.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and high-end branding where a crisp modern serif can signal sophistication. It also works for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, especially in layouts with ample leading and high-quality output.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial gloss. Its stark contrast and fine detailing feel sophisticated and slightly dramatic, evoking premium publishing, fashion, and cultural branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice: strong vertical structure, striking contrast, and precise finishing that prioritizes elegance and impact in editorial and brand-forward typography.
In text settings the hairlines read as very fine, producing a bright, sparkling page color and a strong vertical emphasis. The design rewards generous sizes and clean reproduction where its thin strokes and sharp serifs can remain intact.
