A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs that read as lightly bracketed. The construction feels upright and poised, with clear vertical stress in round letters and sharp, tapered terminals on diagonals. Proportions are balanced and traditional, with modest stroke endings and a clean, controlled rhythm in text. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic finish in details like the ear and tails, without becoming ornamental.
This font is well suited to magazine and editorial design, book covers, and premium brand identities where refined contrast is an asset. It performs especially well in display sizes for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, and can also work for short to moderate text passages when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, leaning toward fashion and literary sophistication. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing convey luxury and seriousness, while the restrained forms keep it composed rather than flashy.
The design appears intended as a modern, conventional text serif with heightened contrast for a more upscale, editorial voice. It prioritizes elegance and clarity through disciplined proportions, vertical stress, and delicate finishing strokes that read as confident and cultured.
In the numerals, the shapes appear classic and old-style in spirit, with noticeable contrast and delicate joins that match the letterforms. The type maintains a consistent, cool precision across the alphabet, with particularly clean curves in O/Q and pointed apexes in A/V/W that reinforce a formal, editorial feel.
