A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and weighty main strokes, creating a bright, elegant rhythm on the page. Serifs are crisp and delicate, with tapered joins and a generally vertical stress that emphasizes a polished, contemporary classicism. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with smooth curves, tight apertures in places, and a consistent, disciplined cadence across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited to magazine and book typography, especially for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where contrast and finesse can shine. It also fits brand identities, packaging, and event materials that need a premium, cultured voice; for longer text, it will perform best when given comfortable size and leading to protect the hairlines.
This typeface conveys a refined, editorial tone with a sense of poise and formality. The sharp contrast and crisp terminals add a fashionable, high-end feel, while the overall restraint keeps it composed rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, print-like elegance through strong stroke modulation and fine detailing. It aims to look authoritative and stylish at display sizes while maintaining enough structural regularity to support longer passages when set with appropriate size and spacing.
The sample text shows a confident, even color at larger sizes, with striking hairlines and clean serif edges that create a distinctly “ink-on-paper” sophistication. Numerals and capitals carry a stately presence, helping the font feel at home in formal layouts and typographic compositions.
