A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The letterforms favor vertical, sculpted stems paired with narrow, tapering joins and sharp beak-like terminals in places, creating a clean, high-fashion rhythm. Counters are open and smooth, with a disciplined, classical skeleton; curves transition into hairlines with a distinctly calligraphic, cut-metal precision. Lowercase forms keep a measured x-height and elegant ascenders, and the numerals carry similarly high-contrast construction with slender horizontals and pointed finishing strokes.
Well-suited to magazine typography, fashion and beauty layouts, and brand systems that need an elegant, premium voice. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and larger display settings where the hairline detailing and sharp terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its contrast and needle-fine details convey elegance and drama, suggesting premium contexts where a crisp, curated voice is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial serif with classic proportions and heightened contrast, optimized for refined communication and visually striking typography without departing from conventional text-serif structure.
In text, the strong contrast and fine serifs create a lively sparkle and pronounced line texture, especially in larger sizes. The design reads controlled and formal rather than casual, with a consistent vertical emphasis across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
