A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty main stems, producing a crisp, chiseled rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed with subtle bracketing, and terminals often end in narrow wedge-like cuts that add a polished, contemporary finish. Uppercase forms feel tall and sculptural, with generous bowls and clean apertures, while the lowercase keeps a restrained, text-oriented structure with a two-storey a and g and a distinctive, thin, angled crossbar on t. Numerals match the overall vertical stress and contrast, with elegant curves and precise joins that stay consistent across the set.
Well suited to editorial design where contrast and elegance are assets—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section titles—along with book jackets and high-end branding systems. It can also serve for short passages in print or high-resolution digital contexts when a refined, premium texture is desired.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, mixing classical book-serifs with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and delicate detailing convey luxury and precision, making the texture feel curated rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, luxury-leaning reading serif that balances traditional proportions with sharpened details and dramatic stroke modulation for strong typographic presence in editorial and brand-forward settings.
At larger sizes the hairline details read as extremely crisp and decorative, while at text sizes the strong thick–thin modulation creates a lively sparkle on the page. The italics are not shown; the presented style reads as a clean, formal roman with contemporary, slightly calligraphic edge behavior in curves and joins.
