A high-contrast serif with hairline connecting strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are delicate and largely bracketed, with a crisp, slightly calligraphic feel at joins and terminals. Proportions read as classical and vertical, with moderate apertures and a smooth, stately rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Lowercase forms show a two-storey a and g, a narrow, graceful s, and fine details in dots and terminals that emphasize precision at display and text sizes alike.
Well suited to magazine and editorial layouts, book typography, and prominent headlines where contrast and detail can read cleanly. It also fits branding systems for premium goods and services, as well as invitations and formal collateral that benefit from a tailored, classical serif voice.
The font conveys a polished, cultured tone associated with luxury, publishing, and formal communication. Its sharp contrast and restrained detailing feel poised and sophisticated rather than casual, lending an upscale, editorial voice to headings and carefully set text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast serif: elegant proportions, crisp detailing, and a smooth reading rhythm that works for both display and carefully composed text.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes; some figures appear more delicate in their light joins, reinforcing a refined, dressy texture. Overall color is relatively light with sparkling highlights, and spacing looks balanced to maintain a clean, composed line in paragraph settings.
