A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, sharp hairline serifs, and a predominantly vertical stress. Curves are smooth and taut, with crisp terminals and confident, high-contrast joins that create a bright, glossy page color in text. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow in some forms, while lowercases show measured proportions and clear differentiation, including a two-storey g and a long, delicate f. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes that read best when given enough size and air.
Well suited to display-forward editorial work such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, as well as premium branding where a cultivated, high-end tone is desired. It also performs effectively for posters and packaging when set at sizes that preserve its delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and formal, evoking luxury publishing, fashion communication, and classical book typography. Its strong contrast and precise detailing lend a dramatic, upscale voice that feels composed rather than playful.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modernized, high-contrast serif voice with classic proportions—optimized for impactful headlines and refined typographic styling. Its sharp hairlines and vertical emphasis suggest an intention to communicate sophistication and authority through contrast and precision.
In continuous text the hairlines and tight apertures create a sophisticated shimmer, especially around round letters and diagonals. The design’s fine details and sharp serifing benefit from generous spacing and higher-quality reproduction where the thin strokes can remain intact.
