This serif features a pronounced modern contrast with hairline serifs and thin joins against fuller vertical stems. Letterforms are upright and neatly proportioned, with a smooth, controlled curve quality and crisp, pointed terminals in places (notably in forms like V, W, and the lowercase v/w). Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in impression due to tall vertical emphasis, while the lowercase maintains clear, traditional structures with compact, tidy bowls and a restrained, bookish rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with fine entry/exit details and sharp finials.
Well suited to display typography where contrast and fine serifs can shine—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium branding, and elegant packaging. It can also serve as a refined text face in short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and spacing to protect the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, projecting a confident, editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and fine details create a sense of luxury and drama, while the classic construction keeps it grounded and readable in composed settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice that bridges classic book typography with modern editorial glamour. It prioritizes elegance, crispness, and a sophisticated page color for premium, style-forward communication.
The italic-like liveliness comes from tapered strokes and delicate terminals rather than actual slant, giving the roman a subtly calligraphic sparkle. Larger sizes emphasize the elegance of the hairlines and serifs, while smaller sizes will depend on sufficient reproduction quality to preserve the thin details.
