A high-contrast serif with sharp thick-to-thin transitions and fine hairline serifs that read cleanly at display sizes. The letterforms combine relatively narrow stems with generous, sculpted curves, creating a bright, airy texture and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Terminals are crisp and tapered, with subtle bracketing where strokes meet serifs, and smooth modulation through bowls and shoulders. Uppercase proportions feel formal and stately, while the lowercase maintains a traditional structure with a two-storey a, a compact e, and distinctly tapered joins that emphasize the calligraphic stress. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with bold main strokes and delicate finishing strokes for an elegant, editorial look.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where its contrast and fine details can shine. It also fits premium branding systems—such as fashion, beauty, hospitality, and luxury goods—where a refined serif voice is desired. For longer passages, it will perform most confidently at comfortable sizes with adequate leading and high-quality output.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, evoking fashion, magazines, and classic bookish refinement rather than casual or utilitarian text. Its strong contrast and sharp details give it a sense of drama and precision, making it feel premium and contemporary within a traditional serif framework.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary high-fashion serif voice while retaining conventional, readable skeletons. Its intent centers on producing strong typographic hierarchy and elegance through contrast, crisp serifs, and a disciplined, formal rhythm.
The design’s thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a striking sparkle in large headlines, while tight apertures and fine details suggest careful size choice for comfortable reading. The italic is not shown here; the roman’s consistent vertical stress and crisp finishing define the character across both uppercase and lowercase.
