A finely drawn serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals. Serifs are small and sharp with subtle bracketing, and joins stay clean, giving the letters a crisp, engraved feel. Proportions are on the narrow-to-moderate side with tall capitals and a relatively small lowercase x-height, producing an elegant vertical rhythm. The lowercase shows traditional book forms (notably a two-storey a and g), while numerals read as lining figures with similarly sharp, tapered details.
Well suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and display settings such as headlines and book or article titles. It can also support upscale branding and packaging, and formal printed materials where a refined serif voice is desired, particularly when set with ample whitespace.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, balancing classical bookish manners with a fashion/editorial sheen. Its delicate hairlines and tall proportions convey sophistication and restraint, with a slightly dramatic contrast that feels premium rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif for elegant typography, emphasizing sharp finishing, disciplined proportions, and a strong vertical rhythm for premium, print-forward layouts.
At larger sizes the thin strokes and pointed details read especially clean, while the combination of tight apertures and fine hairlines suggests it benefits from generous spacing and comfortable sizes when used in text. The italic-like liveliness comes from stroke contrast and terminals rather than any slant.
