This serif has pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline finishing strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs. The capitals are tall and stately, with generous internal space and a calm, vertical stance; curves show a clear vertical stress. Lowercase forms are compact and bookish, with a two-storey a and g, narrow joins, and finely tapered terminals that keep counters open despite the delicate strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and slender diagonals that read best when given adequate size and spacing.
It performs especially well in editorial design—magazine headlines, decks, and pull quotes—where its contrast and sharp serifs can add drama without becoming decorative. It also suits book covers, cultural branding, and formal materials like invitations or programs, particularly when set at display sizes or with comfortable leading in text.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing classical book typography with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its thin hairlines and poised proportions convey sophistication and formality, while the crisp detailing adds a contemporary, premium feel.
The design appears intended as a classic, high-contrast text and display serif that delivers an upscale, publication-oriented voice. Its careful serif shaping and vertical stress aim to evoke traditional refinement while maintaining a clean, modern crispness.
In running text the rhythm is driven by strong vertical stems and very fine cross-strokes, so contrast becomes a key part of the texture. The design favors clarity through open counters and careful spacing, but the hairlines and sharp joins make it feel more suited to well-controlled print or high-resolution settings than rough production environments.
