A refined serif with crisp hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are smooth and controlled, with relatively vertical stress and finely tapered terminals that give the outlines an airy, high-finish look. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with open counters, measured spacing, and a consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures. The overall color on the page is light and sophisticated, relying on contrast and sharp detailing rather than mass.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book jackets, and editorial headlines where high contrast can shine at larger sizes. It can also support sophisticated brand marks and premium packaging, especially when paired with ample whitespace and high-quality printing or rendering.
The tone is polished and literary, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward elegance. Its delicate detailing reads as premium and cultured, with a calm formality suited to high-end typography and classic publishing aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text serif: graceful proportions, sharp finishing, and strong modulation to create a luxurious, high-contrast voice for editorial and brand-led layouts.
Distinctive pointed and wedge-like finishing touches appear on several joins and diagonals, adding a subtle calligraphic bite without becoming decorative. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, with slender horizontals and carefully shaped bowls that keep the set cohesive in text and display.
