A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin transitions, vertical stress, and sharp, hairline terminals. Serifs are fine and crisp with minimal bracketing, giving the outlines a clean, engraved feel. Capitals are tall and poised with generous interior spaces, while the lowercase stays comparatively compact and rhythmic, with narrow joins and delicate finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin crossbars and tapered curves that keep the overall color light despite the strong main stems.
Best suited for editorial typography such as magazine headlines, book covers, and section titles where contrast and finesse can shine. It can also serve well in formal materials like invitations or institutional branding when used at comfortable sizes and with sufficient print or screen resolution.
The tone is polished and authoritative, leaning toward a bookish, editorial sophistication. Its razor-thin details and calm vertical stance communicate refinement and tradition rather than friendliness or informality.
Likely intended to deliver a modern-classic, high-fashion serif voice: dramatic contrast, disciplined proportions, and crisp finishing that evokes premium editorial and literary contexts.
The design rewards larger sizes where the hairlines and sharp serifs can remain clear. Curved forms (C, G, O, Q, S) show controlled, smooth modulation, and the overall spacing reads open and composed, supporting a measured, classical rhythm.
