A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing. Serifs are delicate and sharply cut, with a mix of subtle bracketing and tapered joins that keep stems feeling sculpted rather than purely mechanical. Capitals are tall and poised with generous interior space; round letters show a clear vertical stress and narrow apertures. Lowercase forms are compact and elegant, with a two-storey a and g, a slim f with a high crossbar, and a long-tailed Q; figures follow the same high-contrast, editorial rhythm.
This font is well suited to magazine titles, editorial headlines, and premium branding where high contrast and sharp detail are assets. It can also work effectively for posters, lookbooks, and upscale packaging when set with comfortable tracking and sufficient size to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward voice with a distinctly classical backbone. Its sharp details and dramatic modulation add sophistication and a sense of ceremony, making the typography feel intentional and premium.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a traditional text serif: classical proportions and calligraphic stress paired with sharpened, modern finishing. It prioritizes elegance and visual drama for prominent typographic moments.
At display sizes the thin strokes and pointed terminals read as crisp and luxurious, while the intense contrast can make spacing and alignment feel especially important in longer settings. The forms maintain a consistent, vertical rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals, supporting clean, composed typography.
