A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, strong thick-to-thin modulation, and a predominantly upright, stately stance. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with crisp terminals and tapered joins that give strokes a cut, engraved feel. Proportions lean slightly narrow with generous verticality in the capitals, while lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and clear ascenders/descenders for text rhythm. Curves show vertical stress (notably in O/C/G and numerals), and the overall color on the page is elegant and airy due to the thin connecting strokes.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and book work where a classic, high-contrast serif can add prestige—especially for titles, pull quotes, and display settings. It can also support refined branding and formal print pieces such as invitations and packaging, particularly when set with comfortable spacing and adequate size to preserve the hairlines.
The tone is polished and traditional, projecting authority and composure. Its contrast and sharp details lend an editorial, fashion-forward refinement, while the classical lettershapes keep it rooted in bookish, institutional typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif voice: traditional structure with pronounced contrast and crisp finishing for an upscale, editorial presence. It prioritizes elegance and hierarchy, offering strong visual distinction in headlines while keeping familiar, readable forms for longer text.
At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and pointed details read as sophisticated and precise; in denser settings they create a light, sparkling texture rather than a dark text color. The italic is not shown, and the displayed figures appear lining with similarly high contrast, matching the capital rhythm.
