A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline details. The design favors vertical, steady main strokes paired with fine serifs and tapered terminals, producing a refined, slightly dramatic rhythm in text. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow in feel, while lowercase forms are compact with clear stroke contrast; curves show smooth transitions into sharp joins, and bowls and counters remain clean and open for a polished page color.
Well-suited to magazine layouts, book typography, and other editorial settings where a refined serif texture is desired. It also performs well for headlines, title pages, and brand identities that benefit from high-contrast elegance, as well as formal printed materials such as invitations and programs.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, with a fashion-forward seriousness that reads as classic rather than decorative. Its sharp contrast and precise finishing add a sense of luxury and authority, suggesting a typographic voice suited to premium, curated content.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a conventional reading experience with a distinctly high-contrast, polished finish. The intent seems to balance classic text conventions with a more elevated, fashion/editorial sensibility through sharp hairlines, controlled proportions, and disciplined stroke modulation.
The numerals follow the same contrast logic, with slender diagonals and delicate joins that visually align with the caps. At display sizes the hairlines and serifs become a key part of the personality, while in longer passages the consistent vertical emphasis keeps the texture controlled and composed.
