A polished serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, delicate hairlines. Serifs are fine and crisp, often wedge-like with minimal bracketing, creating a clean, high-fashion silhouette. Curves show a clear vertical stress and tight, controlled joins, while counters are relatively open and the overall spacing feels measured and airy. The italics are not shown; the roman maintains a steady upright posture with a slightly formal, high-waisted feel in several capitals and a compact, tidy lowercase rhythm.
Best suited to editorial typography, magazine headings, fashion and beauty branding, and upscale packaging where its contrast and sharp detailing can shine. It also fits invitations and formal titling, especially when set with generous tracking and ample white space. For extended text, it will be most comfortable in print-like contexts where fine strokes remain clear.
The tone is luxurious and editorial, projecting sophistication and composure with a hint of drama from the razor-thin details. It reads as contemporary-classic rather than rustic, leaning toward runway and magazine aesthetics. The overall impression is poised, premium, and intentionally stylized.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice with classic roots, emphasizing contrast, precision, and a clean editorial rhythm. Its forms prioritize elegance and visual impact, aiming for a refined typographic signature that feels at home in premium layouts.
The design relies on fine terminals and thin cross-strokes, which gives it a striking presence at larger sizes and in high-quality reproduction. Numerals match the refined, high-contrast character, keeping a consistent, dressy rhythm alongside the letters.
