A high-contrast serif with a crisp, print-oriented build: thick vertical stems paired with very thin hairlines and fine, largely unbracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with compact joins and delicate cross-strokes that create a polished, slightly dramatic rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a measured, bookish texture; overall spacing reads open and deliberate in text, with a distinctly refined, calibrated color on the page.
Well suited to editorial design where contrast and refinement are desired—magazine typography, book interiors at comfortable sizes, and cultured headline settings. It also fits luxury and premium brand applications (packaging, invitations, and identity systems) where a precise, elegant serif can carry the tone.
The tone is poised and upscale, combining classic book-seriousness with a fashion/editorial edge. Its sharp hairlines and clean finishing convey precision and prestige, giving headlines a confident, cultured presence while keeping a composed, traditional voice in longer reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast reading serif that bridges traditional typographic formality with a sharper, more fashion-forward finish. Its consistent hairline logic and crisp serifs suggest an emphasis on elegance and typographic sophistication in both display and composed text settings.
The numerals and capitals carry strong vertical emphasis, and the thinnest strokes and serifs are notably delicate, producing a bright, airy impression at larger sizes. Terminals and serifs appear consistently sharp and clean, reinforcing a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast model.
