A refined serif with tall, narrow proportions and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Vertical stems are strong while connecting strokes and serifs taper to hairlines, producing a crisp, high-finish texture. Serifs are delicate and largely unbracketed, with sharp, clean joins and minimal swelling. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with long ascenders and descenders, and the overall spacing feels orderly and controlled for a slender page color.
Well-suited to magazine headings, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and other editorial display work where contrast and finesse are desirable. It can also support premium brand identities and formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs, especially at sizes that preserve the hairline details.
The font conveys a polished, editorial tone—formal, cultured, and slightly dramatic. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing suggest luxury and tradition, with an air of sophistication suited to high-end publishing and branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice with a traditional editorial pedigree. It prioritizes elegance and crisp typographic texture, using tall proportions and fine serifs to create a distinguished presence in headlines and refined compositions.
Curves stay smooth and taut, and many letters emphasize verticality, giving the face a stately stance. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin interior strokes and poised, upright figures that read as classic and dressy in text and display settings.
