A delicate, high-contrast serif with fine hairline serifs and strong thick–thin modulation. The letterforms favor upright, composed proportions with smooth, rounded bowls and a relatively restrained x-height. Curves show a pronounced vertical stress, while joins and terminals stay crisp and controlled, creating a clean, airy rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals maintain the same refined contrast and sharply finished details, giving the set a consistent, polished appearance.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine titling, and sophisticated headlines where high contrast can be showcased. It can also work for book covers, branding lockups, and formal printed materials that benefit from a refined, classical serif presence.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, with a fashion and publishing sensibility. Its sharp contrast and light hairlines read as luxurious and formal rather than utilitarian, lending a quiet sophistication to headlines and editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif voice: crisp, high-contrast forms with elegant hairlines and disciplined spacing, optimized to project sophistication in display and editorial contexts.
In the text sample, the thin horizontals and serifs contribute to a bright page color and a slightly sparkling texture. The ampersand and punctuation match the same precise, high-contrast voice, supporting a cohesive typographic palette for display-led settings.
