A refined text serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. Stems are sturdy and straight while hairlines stay extremely delicate, creating a sharp, polished rhythm across words. Capitals feel stately and proportioned with a clear vertical axis; rounded letters (O, C, Q) show tight, clean curves and pronounced contrast. Lowercase forms are compact and controlled, with narrow joins, neat terminals, and a two-storey “g” that features an elegant loop and ear; the overall spacing reads balanced and orderly in paragraph settings.
Well suited to magazine layouts, editorial headlines, and book titling where high contrast can add authority and sparkle. It can also support luxury-oriented branding and formal materials like invitations or programs. For longer reading, it will perform best with comfortable sizes and spacing that preserve its fine hairlines.
The typeface conveys a cultured, high-end tone—poised and formal without becoming ornate. Its contrast and fine detailing suggest luxury and sophistication, lending a fashionable, editorial sensibility to both display lines and carefully set text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a classic text serif: strong vertical structure paired with razor-thin details for maximum elegance. Its consistent contrast and disciplined proportions suggest a focus on polished typography for premium print and branding contexts.
The numerals mirror the letterforms with strong contrast and sharp finishing, including distinctive, calligraphic-like shaping on figures such as 2, 3, and 9. In the sample text, the delicate hairlines remain visible, emphasizing a clean, glossy look that benefits from generous sizes and good reproduction.
