This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline serifs and finely tapered joins, creating a crisp, glossy texture. The overall construction is upright and formal, with relatively narrow inner counters and a rhythm driven by strong vertical stems and delicate connecting strokes. Serifs appear mostly bracketed and sharp, with pointed and tapered terminals visible in letters like C, S, and a. The lowercase has compact, bookish proportions and a steady baseline presence, while capitals are tall and stately with clean, classical forms.
It performs best in display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and film titles, and premium brand identities. It can work for short passages at comfortable sizes where the fine hairlines remain clear, particularly in high-quality print or well-rendered digital environments.
The font conveys an editorial, fashion-forward elegance—polished, high-end, and traditional rather than casual. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing suggest a premium, cultivated tone suited to sophisticated messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern classic reading of a high-contrast serif: dramatic stroke modulation, precise finishing, and a composed, literary structure. Its goal is to balance tradition with a contemporary sharpness for upscale editorial and brand communication.
In text, the high contrast produces a bright, sparkling page color, especially at larger sizes, where the hairlines and crisp serifs become a key part of the personality. Figures follow the same contrast logic, with sculpted curves (notably in 2, 3, and 8) and a more delicate 9 that adds a slightly calligraphic flair.
