A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and a pronounced vertical axis. The serifs are fine and sharp with subtle bracketing, giving joins a carved, calligraphic feel while keeping the overall construction crisp. Capitals are stately and wide-shouldered with clean, tapered strokes; curves show generous contrast and smooth transitions. Lowercase forms are compact and controlled with a moderate x-height, narrow apertures, and delicate hairlines that create a bright, rhythmic texture in text.
Best suited to display and larger text settings such as magazine headlines, editorial layouts, book or journal titling, and premium brand identities. It can also work for pull quotes and section heads where its contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated without the hairlines collapsing.
The typeface reads as polished and formal, projecting an editorial, fashion-forward sophistication. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions suggest prestige and ceremony, with a quiet, bookish authority rather than a rustic or playful tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on traditional serif letterforms—maximizing contrast and sharp detailing while maintaining conventional proportions for confident, readable typography in editorial contexts.
In the sample text, the hairlines and fine serifs become especially prominent at larger sizes, creating a sparkling page color and a distinctly ‘modern classic’ contrast signature. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with thin cross-strokes and precise terminals.
