A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a vertical stress. Hairline serifs and terminals are sharply cut and largely unbracketed, giving the forms a crisp, high-fashion finish. Capitals are tall and dignified with generous spacing and clean, sculpted curves; the overall rhythm is measured and airy. Lowercase shows a traditional structure with a moderate x-height, narrow joins, and delicate details on characters like a, e, and g that remain controlled rather than calligraphic.
Well suited to magazine headlines, display typography, and brand systems that need a premium, editorial voice. It can work for book covers and elegant packaging where large sizes allow the hairlines and sharp serifs to stay clear. For longer passages, it performs best with comfortable point sizes and spacing to preserve readability and prevent the finest strokes from disappearing.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone associated with editorial typography and luxury branding. Its delicate hairlines and dramatic contrast feel formal and curated, while the open spacing keeps the mood calm and polished rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif look: dramatic contrast, crisp detailing, and a composed text color aimed at high-end communication. It prioritizes elegance and hierarchy for titles and prominent typographic moments.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin horizontals and fine entry strokes that read best when given adequate size and printing resolution. The design emphasizes elegance over ruggedness, so it benefits from generous leading and careful background contrast in use.
