A refined text serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Vertical stems carry most of the weight while horizontals and connecting strokes taper to fine lines, creating a crisp, etched rhythm. Proportions feel high-waisted and slightly condensed in places, with smooth, rounded bowls and carefully tapered terminals. The italic is not shown; the roman maintains a poised, upright stance with precise joins and a clean, polished silhouette across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to editorial layouts, magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and display typography where contrast can shine. It can also work for book covers and refined packaging, particularly when set with generous leading and careful tracking. For smaller text, it will benefit from comfortable sizes and clean printing to preserve the delicate strokes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-end, with a theatrical contrast that reads as luxurious rather than rustic. It evokes contemporary editorial typography—confident, stylish, and deliberately polished—suited to designs that want finesse and drama without ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver modern editorial elegance through extreme contrast, crisp serifs, and sculpted curves, offering a premium voice for titles and brand-led typography. Its controlled rhythm and refined detailing suggest an emphasis on display clarity and a fashion-forward, contemporary classicism.
The uppercase shows strong vertical emphasis and neatly cut serifs, while the lowercase introduces calligraphic touches in letters like a, g, and y through subtle entry/exit strokes and tapering. Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with elegant curves and fine terminals that keep figures feeling integrated with the text. In continuous setting, the contrast creates a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes.
