A refined serif with hairline-thin strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation, creating a crisp, high-contrast texture on the page. Letterforms are predominantly upright with a tall, narrow stance, sharp terminals, and fine, bracketless serifs that read as precise and delicate. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and the overall rhythm is airy and spaced, with a distinctly calligraphic/engraved feel in details like the bowl joins and slender diagonals.
Best suited to large-scale settings such as magazine titles, luxury branding, cosmetic and fragrance packaging, invitations, and elegant posters. It also works well for pull quotes and short editorial subheads where the high-contrast detailing can be appreciated.
The tone is luxurious and poised, evoking high-end editorial typography and classic fashion branding. Its extreme contrast and fine detailing give it a dramatic, polished presence that feels formal, contemporary, and slightly theatrical in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast serif typography—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama. Its narrow proportions and hairline detailing suggest a focus on premium display use rather than dense, small-size text work.
The numerals and capitals share the same razor-thin hairlines and crisp finishing, producing a striking sparkle in display sizes. In running text, the fine horizontals and thin connecting strokes create an intentionally fragile, sophisticated texture that favors careful typesetting and generous sizes.
