This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with delicate hairline serifs and a crisp, slightly calligraphic stress. Capitals are wide and composed, with finely tapered horizontals and sharp, clean joins; round letters keep smooth, high-contrast curves without feeling brittle. The lowercase balances readable, traditional forms with a few more sculpted details—like a lively two-storey “g” and a “y” with a sweeping descender—while maintaining steady rhythm across word shapes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear alignment and fine, precise finishing strokes.
It performs especially well in magazines, headlines, and other display-to-subhead settings where the contrast and hairline details can be appreciated. The font also fits luxury branding, packaging, and book covers that benefit from a classic, high-fashion editorial tone. In longer text, it will be most comfortable at sizes and outputs that preserve its fine serifs and thin strokes.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, projecting luxury and restraint rather than warmth or casualness. Its sharp refinement and high-contrast sparkle suggest an editorial, high-end voice suited to sophisticated layouts and brand-forward typography.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-contrast text and display serif that pairs classical proportions with sharper, more fashion-oriented detailing. It aims to deliver a refined page color and strong typographic presence through crisp serifs, elegant curves, and disciplined, traditional letterforms.
Stroke endings often resolve into fine points or thin wedges, giving the face a crisp, engraved-like finish at display sizes. Spacing in the sample text reads open and orderly, supporting a calm texture even with strong contrast.
