A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, tapered serifs that flare subtly at stroke ends. The letterforms feel wide and open, with generous internal counters and a steady, upright stance. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and terminals stay sharp and clean, producing a sculpted, print-like finish. Overall spacing reads even in text, with a clear hierarchy between thick stems and hairline cross-strokes that gives the design a rhythmic, elegant texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, brand identities, and other display-forward applications where contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short passages in editorial settings at comfortable sizes and with adequate leading, where its sharp hairlines and bright rhythm remain clear.
The font projects an editorial, high-fashion tone—polished, confident, and slightly dramatic. Its sharp elegance suggests prestige and formality, lending a sense of curated sophistication rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial serif voice that balances classical proportions with sharper, more fashion-oriented detailing. Its flared endings and hairline accents are tuned to create a striking, upscale presence in print and on-screen display typography.
In text, the high contrast creates strong word-shape definition and a lively sparkle, especially around rounded letters and hairline connections. Numerals appear similarly stylized, with thin hairline details and pronounced thick–thin transitions that match the display character of the letters.
