A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical rhythm. The letterforms are built from slim hairlines paired with stronger main strokes, with finely tapered, flared endings that read as delicate serifs rather than heavy brackets. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and joins stay crisp, giving the overall texture a clean, high-end look. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with slender diagonals and small finishing strokes that keep the set coherent in text and display.
Best suited to display settings where its fine hairlines and contrast can shine—magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty branding, invitations, and upscale packaging. It can work for short text passages at comfortable sizes and good print/screen conditions, but the delicate details suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-contrast rendering environments.
The tone is poised and polished, evoking classic book and magazine typography with a contemporary sharpness. It feels formal and luxurious rather than casual, projecting sophistication and restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a premium, editorial voice through high contrast and carefully finished terminals, balancing classic serif cues with a clean, modern precision for contemporary layouts.
Uppercase forms carry a stately presence with strong verticals and subtle flare at terminals, while lowercase maintains readability through clear apertures and tidy proportions. The ampersand is traditional and slightly calligraphic in spirit, reinforcing an editorial, old-world refinement.
