A refined serif with pronounced stroke modulation and a distinctly vertical axis. Thick stems are paired with extremely thin hairlines and sharp, delicate serifs, producing a crisp, shimmering texture in text. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are clean and often tapered, and the overall construction feels precise rather than calligraphically loose. Uppercase forms read statuesque and display-leaning, while the lowercase maintains a compact, orderly rhythm suited to continuous setting when given enough size and leading.
Best suited to magazine and editorial layouts, luxury branding systems, and high-impact headlines where its contrast and hairlines can be rendered cleanly. It also works well for posters, invitations, and title typography, and can be used for short passages of text when set at comfortable sizes with ample spacing.
The tone is elegant and editorial, projecting luxury and sophistication with a slightly dramatic, high-fashion edge. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions evoke premium print design—confident, formal, and polished rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern interpretation of classic high-contrast serif typography: elegant display presence in capitals, a disciplined lowercase for refined reading, and a cohesive set of numerals for premium editorial and brand applications.
At smaller sizes the hairlines and fine serifs are likely to require generous sizing and careful reproduction to preserve detail. The numerals follow the same refined contrast and look designed to harmonize with display typography, with a classic, print-oriented feel.
