A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and fuller vertical stems, showing a crisp, engraved-like rhythm. Serifs are fine and tapered, often bracketed into the stems, with sharp terminals and clean joins. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned with ample interior space, while the lowercase features a conventional text structure with a single-storey g and a lively, slightly calligraphic modulation. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with delicate tops and strong verticals that keep figures elegant rather than heavy.
This design is best used for editorial typography such as magazine headings, pull quotes, and book or journal titling, where the high contrast can provide a crisp, upscale voice. It also fits branding systems for fashion, beauty, and premium goods, and works well in larger sizes for posters and packaging where the hairline details can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting sophistication and restraint with a touch of theatrical contrast. It feels suited to premium contexts—where sharp detail and a refined silhouette communicate authority and taste.
The font appears intended as a modern, high-contrast text serif that balances classical proportions with a sharper, more contemporary refinement. Its delicate serifs and emphatic stroke contrast suggest a focus on elegance and typographic color suitable for editorial and brand-forward applications.
Curves are smooth and carefully tensioned, and the thins become extremely delicate at terminals and cross-strokes, which heightens sparkle in display sizes. The italic is not shown; the impression here is driven by an upright, high-contrast roman with pronounced hairline details.
