A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and strong, tapered main strokes. Serifs are small and crisp, generally bracketed, with clean terminals and a poised, vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins stay narrow, producing a polished, print-oriented texture. Proportions feel slightly condensed in the capitals with sturdy, sculpted shapes, while the lowercase maintains a conventional x-height and clear counters.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where a classic, upscale voice is desired. It can work for short passages in carefully set editorial layouts, especially when reproduction quality and size preserve the thin strokes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and formal, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward polish. Its sharp contrast and finely cut details suggest luxury, seriousness, and a traditional sense of craft.
The font appears intended to provide a contemporary take on a classic text serif for editorial display, emphasizing contrast, sharp detailing, and a composed vertical rhythm to convey authority and elegance.
The design reads best where its hairlines can stay intact: larger sizes or high-quality output. Numerals and punctuation share the same crisp contrast, reinforcing a consistent, refined texture across mixed content.
