A high-contrast serif with delicate hairlines and sharp, tapered serifs, built around steady vertical stems and broad, open counters. The capitals are stately and relatively wide, with clean, formal construction and restrained detailing rather than ornamental flourishes. Lowercase forms keep an even, readable rhythm: rounded letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation and a generally vertical stress, while terminals and joins stay crisp and controlled. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and feel slightly more display-oriented due to the thin connecting strokes.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style headlines, pull quotes, and elegant titling where its contrast and width can shine. It also fits premium branding and packaging, as well as book covers and section heads; for long-form text it will be most comfortable at moderate-to-large sizes where the fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-leaning sophistication. Its combination of airy hairlines and confident verticals reads as formal, cultured, and premium rather than casual or utilitarian.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text serif, prioritizing elegance and strong typographic color over rugged versatility. The wide proportions and carefully controlled contrast point to use in sophisticated editorial layouts and brand systems that want a poised, upscale voice.
The design relies on fine details—especially the thinnest horizontals and serifs—which makes the texture feel light and spacious at larger sizes. In dense settings the hairline elements visually recede, emphasizing the vertical rhythm and giving paragraphs a clean, high-end sheen.
