A high-contrast serif with a vertical, rational structure and crisp, hairline detailing. Thick stems pair with very fine cross-strokes and serifs, producing a bright, shimmering rhythm in text. Serifs read as sharp and minimally bracketed, with clean joins and tapered finishing. The lowercase shows a traditional book-face build with a moderate x-height and relatively narrow apertures, while capitals are tall and composed with strong vertical emphasis. Numerals and punctuation match the same contrast and delicacy, keeping an even typographic color despite the thin hairlines.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, as well as book covers and titling. It also fits luxury and cultural branding where a classic, refined serif voice is desired. Use larger sizes or higher-resolution output to preserve the delicate hairlines and sharp serifs.
The overall tone is poised and polished, leaning toward a classic editorial voice. Its refined contrast and sharp finishing suggest sophistication and formality, with a slightly dramatic, fashion-oriented crispness when set large.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic contrasted serif principles: strong verticals, fine detailing, and a disciplined rhythm that reads authoritative in text while becoming striking in display settings.
The design relies on thin strokes for much of its detail, so spacing and word-shape read best when given adequate size and reproduction quality. In continuous text it presents a bright, structured texture; at display sizes the hairlines and pointed serifs become a defining stylistic feature.
