A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly vertical, columnar stance. Serifs are sharp and hairline, with crisp terminals and a clean, sculpted silhouette. Counters tend to be compact and the joins are tight, creating a polished rhythm; round letters show clear vertical stress. The lowercase includes distinctive looped forms (notably in g, y, and j) and slightly calligraphic inflections that add character without becoming informal.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and refined brand or product packaging. It can also support elegant titling on invitations or cultural posters where sharp contrast and a tailored rhythm are desirable.
The overall tone is upscale and editorial, with a poised, fashionable sharpness. Its contrast and fine detailing convey luxury and seriousness, while the occasional swash-like loops introduce a hint of flourish and personality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic, high-fashion serif voice—lean, precise, and contrast-driven—while keeping enough typographic tradition to feel at home in editorial contexts. The added looped details suggest an intention to differentiate through subtle flourish rather than overt ornament.
At larger sizes the hairline details and tight interior spaces read especially crisp, giving words a glossy, high-contrast texture. The figures follow the same dramatic contrast, with elegant curves and thin finishing strokes that match the letterforms.
