A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and a steady upright stance. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, giving strokes a tapered, chiseled finish rather than blunt terminals. The design shows vertical stress in round forms and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm, while maintaining conventional, bookish proportions with a moderate x-height and compact counters. Curves and joins are clean and controlled, producing a polished texture that reads smooth at display sizes.
This font is well suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, section openers, and sophisticated book or report titling. It also fits luxury branding applications where sharp contrast and delicate serifs communicate premium positioning. It performs best when given enough size and resolution for the hairline details to remain clear.
The overall tone is cultured and formal, with a fashion-and-publishing kind of polish. Its crisp hairlines and sculpted serifs suggest sophistication and restraint, leaning more toward classic luxury than casual warmth. The result feels authoritative and composed, suitable for premium editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic text serifs with heightened contrast and precise finishing, balancing traditional proportions with a more fashion-forward sharpness. Its structure prioritizes elegance and hierarchy, making it effective for high-impact reading environments and display-led layouts.
In text settings the spacing and contrast create a bright, refined page color; the hairline details become a defining feature, especially in capitals and numerals. The numerals share the same high-contrast construction and look well-suited to headings and pull quotes where their thin strokes can remain intact.
