A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and prominent vertical stress, combining crisp, pointed serifs with smooth, bracketed transitions. The capitals are tall and poised with sharp internal joins and a clean, formal rhythm, while the lowercase shows compact forms and finely tapered terminals. Curves are taut and controlled (notably in round letters and the bowls of b, p, and d), and overall spacing reads measured and bookish rather than expansive. Numerals appear lining and similarly contrasty, with delicate diagonal and curved details that echo the text forms.
Well-suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also work for book covers and refined branding wordmarks, particularly when ample size and comfortable line spacing help preserve the delicate hairlines.
The tone is polished and cultivated, evoking editorial typography, fashion and art publishing, and classic book refinement. It feels authoritative without heaviness, leaning toward sophistication and a slightly dramatic, high-style presence when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast take on classic serif typography: sharp, stylish, and legible enough for display-led editorial use, with careful proportions that keep the overall color even and composed.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation creates sparkle and a pronounced vertical rhythm, making it especially striking in larger sizes and high-quality reproduction. The italic is not shown; the visible roman forms rely on sharp beaks and fine entry strokes to add character without ornament.
