A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-thin hairlines, paired with sturdy vertical stems. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed to unbracketed in feel, with tapered terminals that add a calligraphic snap without introducing slant. Capitals show generous proportions and smooth, rounded bowls, while the lowercase keeps a measured, text-ready rhythm with compact joins and clean apertures. Numerals and punctuation echo the same high-contrast logic, producing a crisp, polished page color at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes in magazines, fashion layouts, and luxury branding where its high contrast can shine. It also works well for refined posters and invitations when set with ample spacing and printed or rendered at sufficient resolution.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a dramatic contrast that reads as fashionable and editorial. It feels confident and formal, suggesting a premium, cultivated voice rather than an everyday utilitarian one.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and fashion serifs: creating a glamorous, editorial voice with crisp hairlines, sculpted serifs, and strong vertical emphasis. It aims to deliver sophistication and drama while preserving clear letterforms in running display text.
The design relies on fine details—hairline crossbars, thin entry strokes, and pointed terminals—so it visually rewards larger sizes and high-quality reproduction. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the set maintains consistent stress and contrast across letters and figures for a cohesive, classic look.
