A refined serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. Vertical strokes read as dominant and straight, while curves are drawn with thin hairlines and precise terminals, creating a sharp, glossy rhythm. Proportions are generously spaced with wide capitals and open counters; the lowercase is balanced by a moderate x-height and long, clean ascenders/descenders. Overall drawing feels carefully controlled, with smooth bowls, pointed joins, and a distinctly high-contrast silhouette that favors display clarity over robust text color at small sizes.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and large-format editorial typography where the contrast and spacing can shine. It also works well for luxury branding and packaging systems that benefit from a high-end, fashion-forward serif presence.
The font conveys a polished, editorial tone—poised, upscale, and slightly dramatic. Its fine hairlines and clean geometry suggest fashion, art-direction, and premium branding rather than utilitarian reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice rooted in classical forms, emphasizing contrast, precision, and airy spacing for impactful display typography.
Round forms like O/C/Q emphasize thin connecting strokes and delicate interior curves, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) show sharp, knife-like transitions into hairlines. Numerals mirror the same contrast and elegance, with slender spines and refined shaping suited to prominent sizing.
