A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and fuller vertical stems, showing a crisp, print-like rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with pointed terminals and delicate beak-like details on some strokes. The proportions run on the condensed side, with tall capitals, compact lowercase, and tight internal counters that keep the texture dark and continuous in paragraphs. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall construction feels precise rather than geometric, with subtle calligraphic modulation.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, long-form print, and book typography where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and high-end branding applications that benefit from a sharp, elegant contrast. Best results will come from sizes and output where the fine hairlines can be reproduced cleanly.
The font conveys a polished, cultivated tone associated with books and magazines. Its sharp hairlines and narrow proportions read as sophisticated and slightly formal, suited to settings where elegance and authority are desired. The overall mood is traditional and composed rather than playful or casual.
Likely designed to provide a conventional text serif with a more fashion-forward, high-contrast voice, balancing traditional letterforms with a tighter, more economical width. The consistent modulation and bracketed serifs suggest an intention to feel authoritative in text while remaining distinctive in display settings.
In running text, the strong thick–thin contrast creates a lively vertical cadence, while the condensed width helps fit more characters per line. Numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, matching the uppercase rhythm for consistent typographic color in mixed text.
