A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress, producing a crisp, high-end texture on the page. Serifs are fine and sharp, with hairline finishing and occasional subtle bracketing at joins, while strokes end in tapered, wedge-like terminals. Capitals are stately and proportioned for display clarity; lowercase forms are compact and neatly drawn, with a two-storey “a” and “g” and a steady rhythm that stays controlled in text. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic with clean curves and slender horizontals, aligning visually with the capitals for titling and setting figures.
Well suited to editorial typography where a luxurious, high-contrast serif is desired—magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and book or journal titling. It can also support refined branding and packaging, especially when used at medium to large sizes where the hairline details remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, with a classic, fashion-and-publishing sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing read as premium and formal, lending a sense of ceremony and authority without feeling ornamental.
Likely intended as a contemporary take on traditional high-contrast text and display serifs, emphasizing elegance and sharp typographic color. The design prioritizes crisp detailing, confident capitals, and a polished reading texture for sophisticated editorial and brand contexts.
The face shows a consistent, disciplined construction with narrow hairlines and sturdy main stems that create strong vertical emphasis. Curves are smooth and generously rounded in bowls (notably in O/Q), while diagonals and joins remain precise, giving the design a poised, composed presence at larger sizes.
