A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and strong, vertical main stems, creating a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharply defined, often with a slightly cupped/bracketed feel at joins, while terminals frequently taper to pointed or angled finishes. Capitals read tall and stately with clean, controlled curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), and the lowercase keeps a traditional text structure with compact bowls and a relatively upright, disciplined stance. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with thin top strokes and emphasized verticals, giving figures a refined, editorial presence.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and elegant long-form layouts where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also perform strongly in display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and titling—especially for fashion, culture, and premium branding. The delicate detailing makes it particularly effective when printing or rendering conditions preserve fine strokes.
The overall tone is polished and formal, conveying a classic, literary sophistication. Its sharp detailing and dramatic stroke contrast suggest luxury and ceremony, while the restrained, conventional construction keeps it grounded and authoritative rather than decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a luxurious, print-tradition sensibility. Its intent seems to balance conventional text-serif familiarity with sharper, more dramatic detailing to add sophistication and visual hierarchy in editorial and branding contexts.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and needle-like diagonals (seen in V, W, X, Y, and z), which heighten its crispness and make spacing and rendering feel precise. Curved letters show smooth modulation and a clean stress pattern, and the punctuation and dots appear small and neat, reinforcing a tailored, print-oriented look.
