A refined serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline detailing. Serifs are delicate and largely bracketed, with clean joins and sharply finished terminals that keep the overall color light despite the pronounced contrast. Proportions read slightly expanded with generous counters and clear, vertical stress; capitals feel stately and evenly structured, while lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with smooth, controlled curves. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant shaping and fine finishing strokes.
It performs especially well in editorial settings such as magazine headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes, where its contrast and sculpted forms can read as intentional and luxurious. It can also support refined branding, packaging, and book cover typography when used at display sizes or with comfortable spacing.
The tone is poised and upscale, leaning toward contemporary luxury and traditional editorial polish. Its sharp contrast and airy hairlines convey sophistication and restraint, giving text a composed, formal voice suited to premium contexts.
The font appears designed to deliver a polished, high-end reading and display experience: classic serif structure paired with heightened contrast and crisp detailing for a fashion-and-editorial sensibility.
The design’s thin features create a bright page texture, especially in extended passages, while the wide set and open apertures help keep shapes distinct. The overall impression is of a modernized classic serif that prioritizes finesse and clarity over rustic warmth.
