A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. The construction favors vertical stems with tight, clean bracketing (often minimal) and sharp serifs that read as precise rather than heavy. Capitals are tall and poised with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows compact, disciplined forms and a steady rhythm; bowls and curves transition quickly from thick to hairline, giving a polished, high-finish look. Figures follow the same contrast logic, with slender joins and prominent curves that keep numerals lively but formal.
Best suited to display and editorial roles such as magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and refined branding. It can also work for short blocks of text where a polished, high-contrast serif is desired, especially in print-oriented layouts with comfortable sizes and spacing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-end, balancing classical bookish cues with a modern, glossy edge. It feels suited to luxury communication—confident, calm, and meticulously styled—while maintaining enough restraint to remain legible and composed in longer settings.
Designed to deliver an upscale, contemporary-classic reading of the high-contrast serif tradition, emphasizing elegance, clarity of silhouette, and a luxurious typographic voice for modern publishing and brand expression.
The italic-like calligraphic influence is subtle; instead, the style reads as upright and deliberate, with conspicuous stroke contrast doing most of the expressive work. Round letters and diagonals (such as in V/W/X) show sharp joins and fine endings that amplify the crisp, editorial character.
