A refined serif with razor-thin hairlines set against sturdy main strokes, creating a crisp, high-fashion rhythm on the page. Serifs are sharply tapered and often flare out from stems, giving terminals a sculpted, blade-like finish rather than blocky slabs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with elegant transitions in letters like C, G, S, and the numerals, while diagonals in K, V, W, X, and Y remain clean and precise. The lowercase shows a compact, editorial texture with a two-storey a and g, a narrow, pointed t-crossing, and tidy joins that keep counters open and legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other display typography where contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, magazine mastheads, invitations, and poster work that benefits from a refined, high-impact serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with a couture/editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and tapered details feel premium and formal, projecting sophistication more than warmth or friendliness.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif letterforms with contemporary sharpness, emphasizing contrast, tapered serifs, and graceful curves for a sophisticated display presence.
In the sample text, the thin connecting strokes and hairline serifs add sparkle, but they also make the face feel most at home at larger sizes where the delicate details can hold. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, pairing strong verticals with fine, curved finishing strokes for an elegant, headline-ready set.
