A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. The letterforms show a vertical stress and clean, straight-sided stems contrasted by fine connecting strokes, giving a polished, high-definition texture. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, and curves are smooth and controlled, with a slightly calligraphic finish on select terminals. Proportions lean toward tall capitals and relatively compact lowercase, producing an airy rhythm that stays orderly in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and elegant book or report titling, where its contrast can shine. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and event materials like invitations and programs, especially when used at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a quiet formality that reads as editorial and cultured. Its high-contrast construction and fine details convey sophistication and precision rather than warmth or rusticity.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: sharp, fashionable, and legible enough for short-to-medium text while excelling in display roles. Its restrained detailing suggests a focus on refined tone and a clean, modern finish rather than ornate decoration.
In the sample text, spacing feels open and the counters remain clear, helping the design retain clarity despite its thin hairlines. The numerals share the same refined contrast and look best when given adequate size and printing/display conditions that preserve fine strokes.
