A refined serif with tall, narrow proportions and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems read sturdy while cross-strokes and serifs drop to fine hairlines, creating a crisp, engraved-like texture. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with clean terminals and tight joins that keep counters open but controlled. The overall rhythm is vertical and orderly, with compact widths that emphasize a stately, columnar color in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial display applications where its contrast and hairline details can be appreciated. It can also work for upscale branding and packaging when used at moderate to large sizes with comfortable line spacing.
The font conveys a polished, classic tone—poised and serious rather than friendly. Its sharp detailing and narrow cadence suggest formality and careful craft, lending a sense of luxury and restraint in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast serif: narrow, elegant, and highly structured. Its emphasis on vertical rhythm and fine finishing suggests a focus on sophisticated display typography rather than rugged, everyday text settings.
Round letters are slightly squarish in feel due to the narrow fit and crisp transitions, and the numeral set follows the same disciplined, high-contrast construction. In the sample text, spacing appears even and the texture stays consistent across mixed case, though the fine details visually recede at smaller sizes.
