A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and crisp hairline finishing. The serifs are fine and mostly unbracketed, giving the forms a clean, carved feel, while main stems stay sturdy and straight. Round letters show smooth, controlled curves with tight apertures, and the overall rhythm is measured and formal rather than chatty. Numerals match the text tone with elegant contrast and delicate details that favor display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display typography where its contrast and hairline details can remain clear. It also fits high-end branding and magazine-style layouts, especially when paired with a quieter sans or low-contrast serif for body copy.
The typeface projects a polished, high-end tone associated with fashion, culture, and editorial design. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions feel confident and ceremonial, leaning toward sophistication over warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice through strong vertical structure, tight detailing, and dramatic contrast, prioritizing elegance and impact in larger sizes.
In the sample text, the strongest impression comes from the interplay of bold verticals and extremely fine horizontals, producing a bright, shimmering texture at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the style presented reads as a composed roman with a distinctly modern-classic attitude.
