A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and strong vertical stress, combining sharp, clean terminals with subtly bracketed serifs. The proportions feel balanced and traditional, with open counters and a measured rhythm that stays composed at text sizes while gaining elegance as it scales up. Curves are smooth and taut, and the overall color on the page is light but crisp, creating a distinctly polished texture.
Well-suited to long-form editorial typography such as magazines, books, and essays where a classic, high-end voice is desired. It also fits branding systems that need a premium, established tone—particularly for fashion, arts, and cultural institutions—and performs nicely in larger settings for titles, decks, and feature headlines.
This face projects a refined, editorial tone with a sense of calm authority. Its crisp contrast and carefully controlled detailing give it a cultured, literary feel that reads as classic rather than trendy.
The design appears intended to deliver traditional book-type clarity while adding a pronounced sense of sophistication through strong stroke modulation and disciplined serif detailing. It aims to stay readable in continuous text while also offering enough sparkle and sharpness for display uses like headlines and pull quotes.
The figures and capitals share the same poised, high-contrast construction as the lowercase, supporting a consistent typographic palette for mixed-content layouts. The sample paragraph shows smooth line-to-line rhythm with clear word shapes and a distinctly elegant page texture.
