This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp hairline terminals and finely bracketed serifs. Proportions feel tall and statuesque, with a steady, upright axis and smooth, continuous curves in bowls and rounds. Uppercase forms are formal and balanced, while the lowercase maintains a clean rhythm with compact joins and delicate finishing strokes; overall spacing reads even and composed in text.
Well suited to magazine layouts, book and album covers, and other editorial contexts where an elegant, high-contrast serif is expected. It performs especially well for display typography—headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and refined branding—where its fine details and sharp modulation can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-leaning refinement. Its sharp contrast and slim detailing create a sense of sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or ruggedness.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic text serif, emphasizing strong contrast, crisp finishing, and a poised vertical stance. Its careful proportions and controlled detailing suggest a focus on sophisticated reading and high-end presentation rather than utilitarian robustness.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing strong vertical stems with thin connecting strokes for a classic, premium feel. In paragraph-like settings, the delicate horizontals and hairlines contribute to a bright, airy color and a slightly shimmering texture at larger sizes.
