A high-contrast serif with long, tapered hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and sharp with subtle bracketing, giving strokes a crisp, cut-paper finish without feeling rigid. Proportions lean classical and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with clear, open counters and a controlled, vertical stress. The numerals follow the same display-leaning logic, with delicate joins and narrow apertures that emphasize elegance over sturdiness.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book jackets, and high-end branding where an elegant, high-contrast serif is expected. It performs especially well for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and titling, and can also serve formal applications like invitations and certificates when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, projecting a distinctly editorial and luxury feel. Its airy hairlines and sculpted curves read as sophisticated and intentional, making the voice feel formal, polished, and slightly dramatic.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic text serif conventions, emphasizing sophistication through sharp hairlines, controlled curves, and a polished typographic color. It prioritizes a premium, editorial presence while keeping letterforms conventional enough to remain familiar in continuous reading.
The design relies on fine details—hairline serifs, thin cross-strokes, and tight joins—so the personality comes through most strongly at larger sizes where those features can remain clean and distinct. Letterforms show a consistent, measured cadence in text samples, balancing high contrast with readable counters.
