A high-contrast serif with sharp transitions from thick main strokes to hairline serifs and terminals. The serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with crisp, tapered details that produce a polished, print-like texture. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow with generous vertical stress, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and a lively rhythm through thin joins and delicate curves. Figures match the style with strong thick–thin modulation and prominent, calligraphic-shaped bowls and diagonals.
Well-suited to magazine and book editorial settings, especially for display typography such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and section openers. It can also support premium branding and packaging where a refined, high-end voice is desired, and it performs best when given enough size and spacing to showcase its hairlines.
The overall tone is luxurious and formal, projecting editorial sophistication and a fashion-forward sensibility. Its hairline details and poised proportions feel premium and classic rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of classic text serifs—balancing traditional proportions with pronounced contrast and precise, needle-like finishing. Its aim seems to be elegance and hierarchy in printed and layout-driven contexts.
At larger sizes the sharp serifs, thin cross-strokes, and tapered terminals become a defining feature, giving headlines a dramatic sparkle. In extended text, the contrast creates an airy color and a refined cadence, with particularly striking rounded forms and diagonals.
