A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. The letters show a vertical, controlled stress with crisp wedge-like serifs and clean joins, giving the forms a polished, engraved feel. Proportions are balanced and slightly narrow in some capitals, while curves (C, G, O, Q) are smoothly drawn and tightly tensioned. Lowercase details such as the two-storey a and g, the tall ascenders, and the delicate cross strokes create a bright text color that relies on generous spacing and careful setting.
Best suited to display and editorial roles such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and premium brand systems. It can also work for short-form reading like introductions, captions, or refined product copy when set with adequate size and spacing.
The overall tone is cultured and luxurious, leaning toward fashion and magazine typography. Its sharp contrast and precise finishing read as formal and poised, with a quiet drama suited to sophisticated branding and editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end take on classical serif typography, emphasizing contrast, precision, and graceful curves for impactful, polished composition.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender horizontals and confident verticals; the 2, 3, and 5 show expressive curves that add a touch of flair without becoming ornamental. At larger sizes the fine serifs and hairlines feel especially crisp, while in smaller settings the design will benefit from comfortable size and line spacing to preserve clarity.
