A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline detailing. Capitals are tall and stately with sharp bracketless serifs and finely tapered terminals, while the overall fit feels compact and vertically oriented. Lowercase forms keep a controlled, conventional structure with a two-storey “a,” looped “g,” and delicate cross-strokes that stay light relative to the main stems. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender joins and clean, poised curves that maintain an even, polished rhythm in text.
Best suited to display and editorial applications such as magazine headlines, section titles, pull quotes, and brand marks where its high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for upscale packaging and invitations, especially in larger sizes or with generous spacing.
The font conveys an elegant, editorial sensibility—confident, polished, and slightly dramatic through its stark contrast and sharp finishing. It reads as classic and upscale, with a fashion-and-magazine tone that feels more ceremonial than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast book-and-editorial serif voice—optimized for elegance, sharpness, and a premium typographic presence in prominent settings.
Hairlines and thin serifs are a defining feature, giving the design a crisp sparkle at display sizes but a more fragile presence as sizes shrink. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall rhythm is orderly, emphasizing verticality and a composed, premium look.
