A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress, crisp wedge-like serifs, and extremely fine hairlines that taper into sharp terminals. The proportions are classical and slightly narrow in feel, with smooth, round bowls and a disciplined rhythm in text. Uppercase forms are statuesque and clean, while the lowercase shows delicate entry strokes and occasional calligraphic flicks (notably on forms like a, f, g, y). Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin joins and pointed finishing strokes that emphasize a refined, print-oriented silhouette.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion or beauty layouts, luxury branding, and refined packaging. It can work for short to medium editorial passages at comfortable sizes where its hairline detailing remains clear, particularly in print or high-resolution digital environments.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward polish. Its hairline details and sculpted curves convey sophistication and formality, leaning toward high-end and cultural contexts rather than utilitarian everyday text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern interpretation of a classical high-contrast serif: dramatic modulation, sharp finishing strokes, and a calm, vertical structure that reads as premium and authoritative in display typography.
In the sample paragraph, the thin horizontals and joins become especially prominent at larger sizes, creating a shimmering texture and dramatic thick–thin modulation. Round letters maintain a smooth continuity, while angled joins and pointed terminals add crispness and a slightly assertive edge.
