A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a largely vertical, disciplined construction. Hairline serifs and fine terminals give the outlines a crisp, engraved feel, while the heavier stems stay clean and straight. Proportions lean elegant and slightly narrow in places, with a clear, consistent cap height and a steady baseline rhythm. The lowercase shows compact, bookish shapes with tight apertures and refined joins, and the numerals follow the same sharp, high-contrast logic for a cohesive text-and-display palette.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where sharp contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It also fits branding and packaging that aims for a classic, high-end voice, and works effectively for short to medium text when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a distinctly editorial and luxury character. Its sharp contrast and delicate hairlines create a sense of drama and sophistication, suitable for contexts that want to feel premium, traditional, and carefully curated.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif for editorial and brand-forward typography. Its consistent rhythm, sharp serifs, and dramatic stroke modulation suggest a focus on elegance, authority, and a premium reading experience.
At larger sizes the thin strokes and hairline serifs read as a defining feature, emphasizing elegance and precision. In dense settings, the fine details and tight internal spaces can become more visually intense, giving paragraphs a dark, fashion-magazine color.
