A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a strongly vertical rhythm. The design pairs sturdy main stems with very thin hairlines and sharp, delicate serifs, creating a crisp, engraved look. Curves show clear modulation and vertical stress, while many terminals taper or flare subtly rather than ending bluntly. Proportions are compact with small counters and a relatively low x-height, giving the lowercase a tall, poised silhouette; the italic influence is minimal, but several glyphs show a calligraphic liveliness in their curves and joins.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display settings where its contrast and hairline details can remain clear. It also fits upscale branding, magazine typography, and invitation or packaging work that benefits from a classic, high-fashion serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and formal, leaning toward luxury and editorial sophistication. Its thin connecting strokes and precise serifs convey delicacy and control, while the high-contrast modulation adds a sense of drama and refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, high-contrast serif style with a classic, print-like finish—prioritizing elegance and typographic texture over rugged small-size resilience.
In the sample text, the thinnest hairlines and interior joins become the defining texture, especially in curves and diagonals, so spacing and letterfit feel intentionally tight and tailored. Numerals follow the same contrast model with elegant shapes and fine details that read as display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
