A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and confident, dark stems, producing a crisp, polished rhythm on the page. Serifs are fine and sharply bracketed, with tapered terminals and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Uppercase forms feel statuesque and composed, while the lowercase shows a traditional text-serifs structure with a two-storey “g,” a clean two-storey “a,” and a curved “f” with a delicate head. Numerals are similarly contrasty and elegant, with narrow joins and slender cross-strokes that read as precise at display sizes.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand systems that want a premium, classic voice. It also fits book covers and formal materials where elegance and typographic contrast are assets; for long passages, it will be most comfortable when sized and spaced to protect the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, leaning toward luxury and cultural institutions rather than utilitarian text. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions convey formality, restraint, and a slightly dramatic sparkle typical of high-contrast serifs.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of traditional serif letterforms—balancing classical structure with pronounced contrast and sharp finishing. It prioritizes sophistication and visual impact, especially in large sizes and prominent typographic settings.
In the sample text, the font delivers a bright, airy texture with clear vertical emphasis; spacing feels measured rather than tight, helping the thin strokes remain distinct. The design favors smooth curves and pointed details (notably in “S,” “J,” and the italic-like entry strokes on several lowercase letters), creating a refined, contemporary-classic impression.
