A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a crisp, polished rhythm on the page. Serifs are fine and sharply tapered, with subtle bracketing that keeps joins elegant rather than blocky. Curves are smooth and tightly drawn, with pointed terminals and a distinctly sculpted feel in forms like S, a, and g; the lowercase shows a two-storey a and a looped, double-storey g. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with prominent thick strokes and delicate entry/exit hairlines, giving figures a refined, dressy presence.
Best suited to display and large-size typography such as magazine and newspaper-style headlines, book covers, luxury branding, invitations, and cultural posters. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes where its contrast and fine details have enough space to breathe.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, leaning toward premium editorial and cultural applications. Its strong contrast and crisp detailing create a sense of drama and precision, while the classic proportions keep it anchored in traditional bookish refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, editorial take on a classic serif: dramatic stroke modulation, sharp finishing, and carefully balanced proportions that project refinement and authority. Its letterforms aim for elegance and visual impact without abandoning conventional readability cues.
In text, the font reads with a bright, high-key color driven by thin connecting strokes and strong vertical emphasis; the effect is elegant at larger sizes and increasingly delicate as size drops. The design’s sharp terminals and fine serifs give headlines a tailored, high-end look, while the consistent modulation across letters and figures maintains a cohesive, composed texture.
