A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-like hairlines. The design uses narrow, sharply bracketed serifs and tapered stroke endings that create crisp entry and exit points, while round letters show smooth, polished curves with tight apertures. Proportions feel fairly traditional, with compact lowercase and a slightly prominent uppercase presence; spacing reads even, supporting a clean text rhythm despite the dramatic contrast.
This face is well suited to large-size editorial use such as magazine headlines, cover lines, and pull quotes, as well as luxury branding and packaging where fine detail can be appreciated. It can also work for book jackets and display typography that benefits from a classic serif voice and striking contrast.
The overall tone is elegant and high-end, with a confident, editorial polish. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs evoke fashion and luxury branding, while the conventional skeleton keeps it anchored in a classic book-and-magazine tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a traditional serif text model—maintaining familiar letterforms while amplifying contrast, sharpness, and finish for standout display and editorial applications.
Figures are sleek and stylized, with thin terminals and strong vertical emphasis that heighten the formal feel. The lowercase shows a lively, slightly calligraphic energy in joins and terminals, adding sophistication without becoming ornamental.
