A refined serif with very thin hairlines set against sturdier vertical stems, producing a crisp, polished rhythm. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with minimal bracketing and clean, tapered terminals. The design shows vertical stress and smooth, round bowls, while caps feel statuesque and evenly proportioned; the lowercase keeps a traditional book feel with modest extenders and clear counters. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with slender joins and pronounced thick–thin transitions.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and fashion or beauty branding where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also support upscale invitations and identity work, especially when set with generous spacing and printed at sizes that preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a cool, editorial sophistication. Its high-fashion sheen and precise detailing suggest formality and premium presentation rather than casual or rustic use.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif voice—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama in headlines and premium branding.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and fine serifs create a distinctly crisp texture at display sizes, with punctuation and dots rendered as small, neat elements. The ampersand and curves read graceful and controlled, reinforcing a polished, high-end character.
