A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline details. The letterforms show vertical stress in round shapes, narrow joins, and sharp, neatly bracketed serifs that taper to fine points. Proportions lean elegant and slightly condensed in many capitals, while lowercase forms remain open with smooth curves and delicate entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast rhythm, with slender horizontals and graceful curves that keep the overall texture light and polished.
Well-suited to magazine typography, headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where its contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for book covers and refined branding systems that want a classic serif voice with a crisp, contemporary finish.
The overall tone feels elegant and editorial, balancing classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its high-contrast stroke behavior adds drama and sophistication, giving text a composed, premium voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif for premium editorial and identity work, prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a poised reading rhythm in larger text sizes.
In paragraph setting, the hairline features and fine serifs create a shimmering page color, especially at larger sizes where the contrast reads most cleanly. The design favors clarity through well-shaped counters and measured spacing while keeping a distinctly formal, high-style presence.
