A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. The design pairs sturdy main stems with very thin hairlines and sharp, unbracketed serifs that read crisp at display sizes. Proportions are generously set with open counters and a measured, classical rhythm; capitals feel stately and evenly spaced, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, bookish structure with smooth arches and a relatively restrained x-height. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with delicate joins and graceful curves that keep the overall texture light and polished.
This face is well suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and other editorial applications where contrast and elegance are central. It also fits luxury branding, cultural institutions, and book or report titling where a refined, classical voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, evoking traditional print sophistication with a contemporary, clean finish. Its high-contrast sparkle and sharp terminals give it a fashion-forward, gallery-catalog sensibility while still feeling rooted in classic editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-contrast serif with a distinctly polished, print-oriented feel—prioritizing sharp serifs, vertical emphasis, and an elevated tone over ruggedness or neutrality.
In text, the fine hairlines create a bright, shimmering color and emphasize vertical strokes, especially in words with many stems. The italic is not shown, and the roman’s detailing suggests best results when sizes and output preserve the thin strokes.
