This serif presents a poised, vertical structure with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline serifs. Stems are firm and straight, while curves are clean and taut, producing a polished rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Bracketed serifs and tapered terminals give many letters a subtly calligraphic finish, and the overall spacing reads carefully balanced for text and display settings.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book jackets, and other editorial contexts where a crisp, cultured serif is expected. It can carry headlines and subheads with authority, and also works for short to moderate text passages where its fine details and controlled rhythm can be appreciated.
The overall tone is sophisticated and composed, with a distinctly editorial feel. Its sharp contrasts and fine details suggest luxury and formality, while the restrained shapes keep it from becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif: elegant proportions, disciplined verticality, and refined finishing details that elevate both display and reading use.
Capitals feel stately and slightly monumental, pairing well with the more flowing lowercase, which includes a distinctive, curled-descender style in letters like g, j, and y. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with slender joins and crisp finishing strokes that emphasize a refined, print-oriented character.
