A high-fashion serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are upright with a steady baseline and a polished, editorial rhythm, pairing broad vertical stems with delicate connecting strokes. Curves are taut and controlled, with finely tapered terminals and a slightly calligraphic stress that shows clearly in rounded forms like O and C. Uppercase shapes feel stately and sculpted, while the lowercase combines compact bowls with long, graceful ascenders and descenders for a refined texture in text.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxe packaging, and poster titles where its contrast and fine serifs can read cleanly. It can also work for short editorial blurbs, pull quotes, and invitations when set with comfortable tracking and leading.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, projecting a premium, contemporary-classic voice associated with editorial design. Its crisp contrast and pointed detailing add sophistication and a sense of ceremony without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern editorial serif that balances classical proportions with razor-sharp finishing, optimizing for impact at larger sizes while keeping a composed, literary structure.
The numerals follow the same sharp contrast and delicate finishing, giving a consistent, couture-like presence in headings and pull quotes. In running text the thin hairlines and tight joins create a bright, glossy page color that favors clean printing and generous spacing.
