A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and strong, dark stems, producing a crisp light–dark rhythm across words. Serifs are fine and pointed with subtle bracketing, and terminals often resolve into sharp, tapered ends. The capitals feel stately and slightly narrow in impression, with clean, controlled curves in C/G/O and a formal, open-bowled P/R. Lowercase forms show a compact, balanced build, with a two-storey a and g, a straight-backed n, and a small, clean ear on g; ascenders rise prominently, reinforcing a vertical, editorial texture.
Best suited to large-size typography such as headlines, decks, pull quotes, and title treatments where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits elegant branding and packaging applications that benefit from a refined, classic serif voice; for extended small text, careful size and printing conditions would help preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, with a distinctly literary, magazine-like presence. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing suggest a premium, fashion-adjacent sensibility while remaining grounded in traditional book typographic cues.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading and display serif with a premium, contemporary editorial finish. Its controlled proportions and sharp detailing aim for authority and elegance rather than warmth or informality.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate joins and pronounced thick–thin transitions that read especially well at display sizes. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a steady upright stance with consistent spacing and a measured, formal cadence.
