This serif shows a sharp, modernized classic structure with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed hairline serifs. Curves exhibit a largely vertical stress and clean, tensioned joins, while terminals are tapered and neatly finished. Proportions feel balanced and slightly formal: capitals are stately with fine crossbars and precise curves, and lowercase forms maintain a steady rhythm with clear counters and measured spacing. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and delicate finishing details that keep the set visually consistent.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, book covers, and sophisticated branding where an elegant, high-contrast serif can provide a premium feel. It also works effectively for display-sized pull quotes and posters that benefit from crisp detail and formal cadence.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, combining traditional book-seriff cues with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its strong contrast and fine details give it a confident, luxurious voice that reads as editorial and cultivated rather than casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice for refined communication—pairing classical construction with sharper finishing to create a luxe, editorial presence in headlines and carefully set text.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and fine serifs for its character, so the texture becomes especially sleek at larger sizes and in well-controlled print or high-resolution screens. Round letters (like O/C/e) and diagonal structures (like V/W/Y) keep a taut, clean silhouette that reinforces the font’s refined rhythm.
