A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline details. The capitals are statuesque and neatly proportioned, with crisp, bracketed serifs and a controlled, vertical rhythm. Curves show a clear vertical stress, while joins and terminals stay sharp and clean, giving counters a polished, open feel. The lowercase balances compact bowls with narrow hairlines, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with delicate finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, book jackets, and article headlines—where its contrast and sharp finishing strokes can shine. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and formal stationery when used with sufficient size and breathing room to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, leaning toward a cultured, print-forward sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and fine details project formality and precision rather than casual warmth, suggesting a premium, curated voice.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast serif for sophisticated publishing and brand work. Emphasis is placed on crisp hairlines, controlled proportions, and a composed reading rhythm that feels traditional yet polished.
At larger sizes the hairline serifs and thin connecting strokes read as a key part of the personality, creating a crisp, fashion-like sparkle. In longer text, the strong contrast produces a lively texture and a distinctly traditional book-and-magazine cadence.
