A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. Stems are sturdy while hairlines and serifs stay very fine, producing crisp, high-contrast silhouettes. Proportions skew tall and slightly condensed, with generous ascenders and relatively compact bowls and counters. Serifs are delicate and mostly unbracketed, and many terminals resolve to sharp, clean cuts, giving the letterforms a precise, engraved-like finish. The texture in paragraphs reads airy yet structured, with consistent rhythm and careful spacing around narrow joins and thin cross-strokes.
Best suited for magazine and book editorial design, display typography, and brand applications where elegance and contrast are desired. It performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and titling, and can work for short text passages when set with comfortable size and leading to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, with a poised formality that feels at home in premium print contexts. Its dramatic contrast and tall proportions lend a sense of luxury and authority, while the clean, disciplined detailing keeps it contemporary rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with a classic foundation—prioritizing crisp hairlines, vertical clarity, and a polished page color for premium editorial and branding settings.
The lowercase shows a restrained, editorial character with straight-sided stems and elegant hairline connections, and the capitals present a stately presence suited to display use. Numerals appear similarly contrasty and tall, matching the font’s refined, vertical emphasis.
