A high-contrast serif with prominent thick–thin modulation and crisp, unbracketed hairline serifs. The letterforms feel expansive and spacious, with generous sidebearings and open counters that create an airy page color. Vertical stems read dominant, while horizontals and joins taper sharply, giving a refined, engraved quality. Round letters (O, C, G) show a clear vertical stress, and the figures follow the same contrasted logic with delicate terminals and strong main strokes.
Well suited to magazine typography, headlines, and large-size editorial settings where its contrast and refined serifs can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and formal materials such as invitations or certificates, especially when used with ample whitespace. For extended text, it performs best at comfortable sizes and in contexts where thin strokes won’t break down.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-minded sophistication. Its sharp contrast and clean finishing convey elegance and precision, while the wide stance adds a calm, stately rhythm.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern classic serif voice: elegant, high-contrast, and display-forward, with proportions that emphasize poise and clarity. It prioritizes refined detail and a composed rhythm over compactness, aiming for premium, high-end presentation.
In text, the hairlines stay visibly delicate, so the face reads best when printing or rendering conditions preserve fine detail. The wide proportions and strong contrast create a distinctive texture that favors measured spacing and careful typesetting.
