This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp hairline serifs and a largely vertical stress. Forms are tall and elegant, with narrow joins, clean apertures, and a smooth, polished rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. The capitals are stately and even, while the lowercase combines classic book proportions with more calligraphic details—noticeably in the single-storey a and g, the looped descenders, and the sharp, tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with fine finishing lines for an overall refined texture.
It is well suited to magazine and editorial typography, especially for display sizes where the contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. The face also works for book titling, cultural branding, and formal stationery or invitations where an elegant, classical impression is desired.
The typeface projects a poised, high-end tone: luxurious, editorial, and slightly theatrical due to its dramatic contrast and delicate detailing. It feels traditional and cultivated rather than casual, with a boutique sophistication that suits elevated communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif—prioritizing elegance, clarity, and a premium feel through vertical stress, hairline finishing, and carefully controlled proportions.
At text sizes the hairline elements and tight stroke transitions create a sparkling texture and strong vertical emphasis. The italic-like energy in some lowercase constructions (notably a, g, y, and f) adds movement without shifting the overall stance away from upright.
