A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and largely unbracketed, with fine hairline horizontals and tapered terminals that stay crisp at display sizes. The proportions lean classical with moderate width variation across glyphs, generous counters, and a steady baseline rhythm; the lowercase shows a traditional two-storey a and g, with compact joins and delicate links that emphasize contrast.
Best suited to display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, book covers, pull quotes, and high-end branding where sharp contrast can be showcased. It can work for short-to-medium text in print or high-resolution digital contexts when set with sufficient size and leading to protect the hairlines.
The font conveys a polished, editorial tone: elegant, measured, and slightly dramatic due to its hairline details. It reads as premium and formal, with a fashion-magazine sensibility and a composed, bookish authority.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif: maximizing elegance and hierarchy through crisp hairlines, vertical emphasis, and finely cut serifs while maintaining familiar text forms for readability in polished compositions.
Numerals echo the same contrast and refinement, with notably delicate curves and thin joins in figures like 3, 6, and 9. In text, the hairlines and thin serifs create a bright typographic color that benefits from ample size and comfortable line spacing.
