A delicate, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and a predominantly vertical axis. Serifs are fine and sharply defined, with a crisp, engraved feel and minimal bracketing. Capitals are tall and stately with generous sidebearings and clean, open counters; curves transition into hairlines with a controlled, polished rhythm. The lowercase shows a traditional book-hand structure with a two-storey “a,” narrow joins, and light terminals, maintaining an even, airy texture across text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine layouts, and brand identities where a refined, high-end voice is desired. It can also work well for invitations, titles, pull quotes, and other display settings where its hairlines and crisp serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, communicating formality and restraint rather than warmth. Its thin hairlines and crisp detailing evoke fashion/editorial typography and high-end print sensibilities.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classical, high-contrast serif voice with a premium, print-forward character—optimized for elegance, hierarchy, and a polished editorial look.
At larger sizes the contrast and sharpness read as especially sophisticated, while in smaller text the very fine strokes can make the color feel light and sparkling. Numerals appear lining with similarly high contrast, giving dates and figures a similarly formal, display-leaning presence.
