A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline finishing strokes. The design leans on vertical stems and smooth, near-circular bowls, with clean bracket-free serifs that read as crisp wedges and fine hairlines. Curves are taut and polished, and the rhythm is driven by strong verticals paired with very fine connecting strokes, giving the lowercase a light, airy texture. Numerals and capitals share the same formal construction, with narrow joins, precise terminals, and a distinctly glossy page color at display sizes.
Best suited to display and larger text settings such as magazine headlines, section openers, book covers, and brand marks where its sharp contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for pull quotes and short passages in high-quality print or high-resolution digital layouts.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, suggesting contemporary fashion/editorial typography with a classic, bookish foundation. Its dramatic contrast and clean finishing give it a luxurious, cultivated feel rather than a rustic or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and polished curves for editorial and brand-forward typography. It aims for a sophisticated, high-end impression with a clear, traditional letter skeleton.
In the sample text, the thins become extremely delicate, especially in smaller details and interior joins, which heightens the sense of finesse. The lowercase shows a traditional, readable structure, while the capitals present a more stately, display-forward presence.
