This serif features a crisp, high-contrast structure with thin hairlines and stronger main stems, producing a clean, glossy rhythm on the page. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, with tapered, wedge-like endings that feel precise rather than bracketed or heavy. Uppercase forms are stately and open, while the lowercase shows smooth, calligraphic modulation with a two-storey g and a compact, well-controlled aperture structure. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with delicate joins and narrow internal counters that reinforce a polished, print-oriented texture.
It is well suited to magazine typography, headlines, and brand systems that need an upscale, refined serif voice. It can also work for short-to-medium passages in high-quality print or high-resolution digital settings where its thin strokes and sharp terminals remain intact.
The overall tone is sophisticated and cultivated, projecting a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward character. Its sharp detailing and glossy contrast suggest luxury, formality, and a contemporary take on classical book typography.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, elegant text serif with pronounced contrast and sharp finishing, balancing classical proportions with a sleek, contemporary editorial sheen.
The design relies on fine details—especially hairlines, joins, and serif points—so it reads best when given enough size and resolution to preserve its delicate features. The italic is not shown; the sample emphasizes a consistent upright voice across longer lines of text.
