This serif face is built around very thin hairlines paired with stronger main strokes, producing a crisp, high-contrast texture. Stems often taper into subtly flared, wedge-like terminals rather than blunt brackets, giving the letterforms a carved, calligraphic finish. Proportions are compact and relatively narrow, with smooth curves, tight apertures, and sharp joins that keep the silhouette clean. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey “g,” a compact “a,” and fine, precise serifs that stay legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and elegant branding where contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It also fits invitations, titles, and pull quotes, especially in spacious layouts or larger point sizes where the hairlines won’t be overwhelmed.
The overall tone is refined and cultivated, leaning toward luxury and literary sophistication. Its delicate detailing and bright contrast feel formal and composed, with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif impression: sharp, high-contrast forms with subtly flared endings for a premium, editorial presence. It prioritizes sophistication and visual rhythm, aiming for impact without heaviness.
In text settings the strong vertical rhythm and slim widths create an airy, economical line while still reading as distinctly classical. The numerals and capitals carry the same tapered finishing, maintaining a consistent, polished voice across headings and mixed-case composition.
