This typeface is a high-contrast serif with delicate hairlines and sharper, weighty main strokes that create a clean vertical rhythm. Serifs are fine and tapered with subtle flaring at stroke endings, giving terminals a gently sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than blunt cuts. Capitals feel tall and poised with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows smooth, controlled curves and a clear two-storey a with a teardrop terminal. Numerals are elegant and slightly varying in width, matching the text’s refined contrast and crisp detailing.
It performs best in editorial and branding contexts where refinement and contrast are assets—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book or album covers, and sophisticated identity work. It can also serve for short-to-medium text passages in high-quality print or large on-screen sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, with a sense of luxury and restraint. Its sharp contrast and tapered finishing convey sophistication and a contemporary editorial sensibility while still feeling rooted in classical serif traditions.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale, modern serif voice with sharp contrast and tapered finishing, balancing classical proportions with a more fashion-forward, display-oriented crispness.
In text, the light hairlines and fine serifs create a bright, airy color with pronounced thick–thin patterning, especially noticeable in diagonals and curved joins. The design favors graceful shapes and clean spacing, producing a composed page texture suited to display-forward typography.
