A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairlines, built around vertically oriented stress and generous counters. Serifs are delicate and often wedge-like or subtly flared, with smooth transitions into stems that give a lightly sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than blunt terminals. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in impression, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with open apertures and a clean, poised baseline. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sharp joins with fine finishing strokes for a polished, print-oriented texture.
This design is well suited to magazine and editorial typography, book covers, and refined headline work where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and formal materials such as invitations or cultural event collateral, particularly when set at larger sizes and with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, projecting a sense of tradition, sophistication, and quiet luxury. Its sharp contrast and graceful finishing details suggest formality and careful craftsmanship, lending a literary, high-end character to headlines and display settings.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical, high-contrast serif traditions, emphasizing elegance and a luxurious page color through fine hairlines and sculpted terminals. The subtle flaring at stroke endings adds a crafted, slightly calligraphic nuance while maintaining a clean, modern finish.
Curves are drawn with smooth, controlled tension—especially in round letters—while diagonal forms (like V/W/Y) feel crisp and slightly knife-edged at the joins. The italic is not shown; the presented style reads as a single upright cut with consistent detailing across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
