A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a crisp, vertical rhythm. Hairlines are very thin and clean, while main stems are sturdy, producing a bright, high-clarity texture on the page. Serifs are small and sharply cut with minimal bracketing, and curves feel taut and controlled, giving rounds a slightly sculpted, glossy look. Proportions read on the generous side with ample counters and comfortable spacing, supporting an open, composed paragraph color.
Well-suited to magazine typography, display headlines, and sophisticated titling where contrast and sharp detailing can take center stage. It also fits premium brand systems and formal invitations, and can work for short-form reading in books or essays when set with enough size and leading to protect the hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a fashion-and-publishing sensibility. It feels confident and ceremonial rather than casual, projecting tradition, precision, and a polished finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical high-contrast serif letterforms—prioritizing elegance, clarity, and a strong vertical cadence for editorial and brand-facing typography.
The design shows a consistent vertical emphasis across capitals and figures, with delicate joins and terminals that reward good reproduction. Its fine details suggest it will look especially crisp at larger sizes or in high-quality print where hairlines can be preserved.
