This serif typeface pairs slender hairlines with strong vertical stems, producing a sharp, polished texture on the page. Serifs are fine and pointed, with a distinctly calligraphic taper in places and occasional teardrop-like terminals. The design favors clean, upright construction with smooth curves, narrow joins, and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm that gives capitals a statuesque presence. Lowercase forms feel compact and controlled, with crisp entry strokes and a tidy, modernized classic skeleton.
It performs especially well for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated branding where sharp contrast and fine details can be appreciated. It can also suit short passages such as introductions, captions, and premium print materials when set with generous size and spacing to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-end, with a cool, editorial poise. Its high-contrast detailing and razor-like finishing cues fashion, luxury, and magazine typography, while still reading as a conventional, bookish serif at text sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, luxury-leaning serif with classic roots, emphasizing dramatic contrast, crisp finishing, and an elegant text rhythm suitable for editorial and brand-forward typography.
Round letters maintain a tight, refined curvature, and the font’s contrast creates a lively sparkle in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate horizontals and emphasized vertical stress, reinforcing an upscale, display-leaning character.
