A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical axis. Serifs are sharp and hairline-thin with minimal bracketing, giving terminals a crisp, engraved feel. Capitals are tall and stately with generous widths and clean, open counters, while the lowercase shows a comparatively low x-height and delicate joins that emphasize contrast. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and slender connecting strokes that read best at moderate to larger sizes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, book covers, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where contrast and elegance are assets. It also fits luxury and fashion branding, invitations, and posters, especially when set with ample size and comfortable spacing so the hairlines can stay clear.
The overall tone is elegant and high-end, projecting a polished, editorial voice. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast create a sense of ceremony and sophistication, with a slightly theatrical presence in display settings.
Designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a contemporary crispness, prioritizing elegance and vertical rhythm over utilitarian robustness. The proportions and delicate finishing appear aimed at elevated display and editorial roles where refined detail is visible.
Round letters like C, O, and Q show smooth, controlled curves with fine hairlines, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) look taut and blade-like. The lowercase a is two-storey and the g is double-storey, reinforcing a traditional text pedigree, though the fine details suggest caution at very small sizes or low-resolution output.
