A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Hairline serifs and razor-thin connecting strokes contrast with sturdy main stems, creating a crisp, high-end rhythm. Capitals are tall and stately with clean, bracket-free looking serifs and carefully controlled curves, while lowercase forms are compact and tidy, with a two-storey “g,” a sharp-shouldered “r,” and a light, open “e.” Numerals echo the same calligraphic contrast and fine finishing, with graceful curves and thin entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book and journal display, and other editorial settings where elegance and contrast are desired. It can shine in headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications, especially when used at larger sizes where the hairline details remain crisp.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, leaning toward fashion and literary sophistication. Its sharp contrast and delicate detailing convey formality and precision, giving text a poised, curated feel rather than an everyday, utilitarian voice.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on classical high-contrast serifs, prioritizing elegance, verticality, and sharp finishing. The balance of stately capitals and disciplined lowercase suggests a focus on sophisticated display and editorial typography rather than rugged, small-size utility.
The design favors clear, sculpted silhouettes and clean joins, with particularly fine horizontals and terminals that read best when allowed enough size and reproduction quality. The spacing appears measured and even in running text, supporting an orderly, editorial cadence.
