A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline serifs and strongly modeled thick-to-thin transitions. The letterforms show a vertical stress and a composed, slightly calligraphic modulation, with tapered joins and pointed terminals that keep counters open and silhouettes clean. Capitals feel elegant and stately, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with compact bowls, a two-storey “a,” and precise, delicate finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and appear designed to sit comfortably alongside text with a poised, print-like texture.
Well suited to editorial headlines and decks, magazine typography, and sophisticated branding where a refined, high-contrast voice is desired. It also works effectively for book covers and pull quotes, and can serve as a text face in comfortable sizes and print-oriented contexts where its fine details can be maintained.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward sensibility. Its sharp contrasts and fine detailing give it a premium, literary feel that reads as formal and considered rather than casual.
The font appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast text serifs, balancing elegant hairlines with stable vertical stems for a poised, print-centric reading experience. Its consistent modulation and sharp finishing suggest a focus on premium editorial and display applications.
In text, the strong contrast creates a lively shimmer and a distinctly upscale color, especially at larger sizes. The design’s fine hairlines and tapered serifs contribute to an airy elegance, while the sturdy main strokes preserve clarity and structure.
