A refined serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are hairline and sharply cut, with crisp bracket transitions and pointed terminals that give the outlines a sculpted, high-end finish. Capitals are tall and poised with generous inner counters; round forms (C, G, O, Q) feel open and smooth, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) taper into needle-like ends. The lowercase follows a bookish, transitional rhythm with compact joins, a clean two-storey “g,” and a narrow, lightly crossbarred “t,” producing a light-on-its-feet texture at display sizes.
This face is well suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book or journal titling—where its contrast and sharp serifs can shine. It also fits luxury branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, high-fashion voice. For best results, it will be most effective at larger sizes and in high-quality reproduction where the hairlines remain crisp.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting luxury and sophistication without feeling ornamental. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing evoke fashion mastheads, classic publishing, and gallery-like restraint. The spacing and slender hairlines contribute to an airy, upscale presence that reads as modern-classic rather than rustic or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary editorial serif with a premium feel: strong vertical structure, pronounced contrast, and precise hairline finishing. It aims to balance classical proportions with a clean, modern sharpness for display-led typography.
The numerals echo the same calligraphic contrast, with delicate curves and thin entry/exit strokes, helping figures sit comfortably alongside text in headings. The italic is not shown, and the design language presented here emphasizes clarity and elegance through fine detailing and controlled rhythm.
