A refined serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The design shows predominantly vertical stress, narrow letterforms, and a tall overall posture with long ascenders and deep descenders. Serifs are fine and sharp, with tapered joins and pointed details in places, while bowls and rounds stay smooth and controlled. Spacing appears relatively open for the width, creating a clean, airy rhythm that emphasizes contrast and silhouette over texture.
Best suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and refined poster work. It also fits premium branding contexts—beauty, jewelry, hospitality—where a sophisticated serif voice is desired. For longer passages, it will perform most convincingly at comfortable sizes and with generous leading so the fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a runway/editorial feel. Its high-contrast drawing and fine finishing convey sophistication and formality, lending a sense of prestige and poise.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serifs, prioritizing elegance, verticality, and sharp detail. Its narrow proportions and airy spacing suggest an intention to create striking, economical headlines and upscale typographic color in editorial layouts.
Uppercase forms read stately and display-leaning, while the lowercase keeps a disciplined, bookish structure with delicate entry strokes and occasional calligraphic flair. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slim stems and prominent curves that feel suited to typographic settings where elegance is prioritized over ruggedness.
