A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The uppercase shows classical proportions with sharp apexes and tapered terminals, while the lowercase balances compact bowls with gently bracketed joins and a steady, bookish rhythm. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are cleanly opened, and round letters (C, O, Q) feel slightly oval with controlled contrast. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with fine hairlines for a polished, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, book and journal titling, pull quotes, and refined branding where a polished, high-contrast serif is desired. It also works for formal invitations and packaging when set at comfortable sizes with adequate line height to preserve the delicacy of the hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, evoking literary and editorial tradition with a contemporary, fashion-forward sheen. Its delicate hairlines and crisp finishing convey sophistication and formality, while the even spacing keeps it readable and composed in continuous text.
Likely designed to deliver a modernized classic serif voice: elegant, highly articulated strokes for premium typography, while maintaining an orderly text rhythm for editorial and cultural applications.
The design relies on fine horizontal strokes and thin connecting elements, giving it a bright, airy color at display sizes and a distinctly sharp silhouette. Diagonals (V, W, X, y) are narrow and pointed, and terminals tend toward tapered wedges rather than blunt cuts, reinforcing a precise, high-end feel.
