This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with delicate hairlines and crisp, finely bracketed serifs. Proportions are compact and vertically oriented, with a steady, even rhythm in text and clear differentiation between round and straight forms. Curves show a traditional vertical stress, and terminals tend toward sharp, tapered finishes, giving the outlines a polished, high-end feel. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with open counters and light connecting strokes that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book interiors where a crisp, high-contrast serif can carry an elevated reading experience. It also fits formal stationery and invitations, as well as branding applications that benefit from a classic, premium tone—especially in headlines, pull quotes, and refined short-form text.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, evoking classic book typography and contemporary fashion/editorial styling. Its contrast and sharp detailing communicate refinement and formality, with an understated luxury rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a more fashionable, high-contrast cut, balancing classical construction with a slimmer, more luxurious texture. Its consistent modulation and sharp detailing suggest a focus on elegance and typographic color in composed editorial and literary settings.
At larger sizes the hairlines and serif details read particularly clean and expressive, while in longer text the narrow proportions and contrast create a bright, airy texture. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman and straight, emphasizing a composed, traditional posture.
