A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline details. Serifs are bracketed and delicately tapered, with narrow joins and sharp terminals that give the outlines a polished, sculpted feel. Proportions read as classical and slightly condensed in places, with smooth, rounded bowls in O/C and a graceful, calligraphic flow through S and the italics-free, upright lowercase. Numerals and capitals appear carefully balanced for display use, maintaining consistent contrast and clean spacing in the sample text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and brand marks where high contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for premium packaging and invitations, especially when set with generous leading and not-too-small sizes to preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, evoking fashion/editorial typography and classic bookish sophistication. Its high-contrast sparkle and fine finishing convey formality and luxury, while the restrained, traditional construction keeps it from feeling experimental.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on classic high-contrast text serifs, emphasizing elegance, sharp detailing, and a polished reading rhythm in display and editorial settings.
At larger sizes the hairlines and small details read especially clean, creating a bright rhythm across words. The lowercase shows a traditional text-serifs structure with a two-storey a and g, and the punctuation/diacritics in the sample hold the same sharp, delicate finishing.
