A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline serifs. The overall construction is upright and formal, with smooth, round bowls contrasted by crisp, tapered entry/exit strokes and sharp terminals. Uppercase forms feel tall and poised, while the lowercase shows a classic text-serifs structure with two-storey a and g, a compact, controlled rhythm, and narrow hairline connections in places. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing robust stems with fine horizontals and elegant curves for a polished, print-forward texture.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and detail can be appreciated—magazine titles, section headers, posters, book covers, and fashion or beauty branding. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes and in high-quality print, while very small sizes or low-resolution contexts may diminish the finest hairlines.
The tone is elegant and high-end, with a distinctly editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and fine details create a sense of drama and sophistication, lending a couture, gallery, or literary feel rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif for sophisticated editorial and brand settings. It prioritizes elegance, sharp typographic color, and a premium feel through delicate serifs and dramatic modulation.
The thinnest strokes and serifs are extremely fine relative to the main stems, making the design feel crisp and premium but also visually delicate. Curved letters (like C, G, O, and S) emphasize smooth, controlled arcs, while diagonals (such as V, W, and Y) read as sleek and stylized due to tapered hairlines.
