A refined high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, slender hairlines, and sturdy main stems. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, giving the forms a crisp, engraved feel rather than a slab-like presence. Capitals are stately and open, with ample internal counters and a measured rhythm; curves in C, G, O, and Q show a smooth, controlled modulation. The lowercase keeps a traditional, bookish structure with a two-storey a, compact shoulder shapes, and neatly finished terminals; numerals follow the same contrast model, with delicate joins and clear figure shapes.
Well suited to display typography such as headlines, cover lines, pull quotes, and book or report titles where its contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It also fits brand identities and packaging that benefit from a classic, premium voice, and can work for short-form body text in well-sized, well-spaced editorial layouts.
The overall tone is polished and formal, leaning toward fashion and publishing aesthetics. Its strong contrast and fine detailing convey sophistication and a sense of prestige, while the upright stance keeps it authoritative and composed.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: graceful proportions, precise hairlines, and crisp serifs for an elevated, editorial-forward presence.
At larger sizes the thin hairlines and pointed serifs read as particularly crisp, giving headlines a bright, shimmering texture. In dense paragraphs the contrast creates an assertive typographic color, so spacing and size will strongly influence comfort and clarity.
