A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are sharp and tapered rather than blocky, with clean bracketed transitions and crisp terminals that give the letters a polished, high-end sheen. Proportions feel slightly tall, with generous verticality in capitals and a relatively tall x-height in the lowercase, producing an open, legible text color at larger sizes. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in O/Q/C), while diagonals and joins stay disciplined, creating an even rhythm across words and lines.
Well-suited to magazine and editorial layouts, fashion or cultural branding, and book covers where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and display settings that can showcase its hairline details and crisp finishing strokes.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, balancing modern crispness with a classical, bookish backbone. Its high-contrast drawing and needle-fine details convey sophistication and luxury, with a quiet, composed voice suited to premium typography.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text-serif model: high contrast, precise finishing, and an elevated, premium feel while maintaining a readable rhythm in running copy when set with appropriate size and spacing.
In the text sample, spacing and rhythm read calmly, with a bright page color typical of high-contrast serifs. The delicate serifs and thin horizontals suggest it will look most confident when given enough size and reproduction quality to preserve its fine details.
