This serif design features tall, slender proportions with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate, hairline serifs. Curves transition into stems with smooth bracketing, and terminals often finish in fine, pointed or tapered ends, giving the outlines a crisp, incisive profile. Counters are relatively compact and the overall fit feels tight, producing a dense, vertical rhythm that stays controlled across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to magazine typography, high-end branding, and title work where contrast and elegance are desirable. It can perform in short text passages in print or high-resolution contexts, but its fine serifs and thin strokes are especially effective in display sizes, subheads, and pull quotes.
The tone is polished and editorial, leaning toward luxury and cultural institutions rather than casual or utilitarian settings. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing suggest formality and sophistication, with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge when set at larger sizes.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic text serif: prioritizing a graceful, high-contrast silhouette, tight rhythm, and crisp finishing for editorial and brand-led typography. Its proportions and detailing aim to deliver sophistication and clarity in prominent settings while retaining traditional serif cues.
The italic is not shown; the roman presentation emphasizes a disciplined, vertical stance and consistent contrast behavior. Numerals and punctuation echo the same refined finishing, helping headlines and pull quotes feel cohesive.
