A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline bracketed serifs. The capitals feel stately and vertically oriented, with clean joins, narrow internal apertures in letters like E and S, and a graceful Q featuring a sweeping tail. Lowercase forms are smooth and controlled, with compact bowls, a two-storey a, a looped g, and a narrow, vertical rhythm that stays crisp in text. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with elegant curves and fine terminals that read as delicate alongside strong main stems.
Well suited to magazine typography, display headlines, and elegant branding where high contrast and sharp serif detailing can shine. It also works for book titles and pull quotes, and can be used for short-to-medium text in spacious layouts where fine strokes are given enough size and print/screen quality to hold up.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, projecting a sense of luxury and formality. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details convey a classic, fashion-forward sophistication rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
Likely intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic text-serif proportions, prioritizing a polished, high-fashion editorial look with strong vertical structure and refined hairline detailing.
Stroke contrast and hairline details become a defining texture in longer passages, producing a bright, shimmering page color with clear vertical cadence. The design leans on delicate terminals and tight counters, which emphasize elegance and precision over ruggedness.
