A crisp, high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and more substantial vertical stems, creating a clean, shimmering texture on the page. Serifs are fine and neatly bracketed, with sharp terminals and a generally vertical stress that reads as formal and polished. Proportions feel balanced and bookish: uppercase letters are stately without being overly wide, while lowercase forms maintain a steady rhythm with compact joins and careful spacing. Figures follow the same contrast and refinement, with open counters and pointed details in curves.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headings, pull quotes, and display sizes where its contrast and hairline serifs can read cleanly. It also fits book covers and refined branding materials that benefit from a classic, upscale serif voice. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at sizes and reproduction conditions that preserve the thin strokes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and composed, with a distinctly editorial and literary character. Its sharp contrast and delicate finishing details suggest luxury, tradition, and careful craft, lending a poised voice to headlines and refined text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a controlled, traditional rhythm. It aims to provide a polished typographic voice for formal communication and premium editorial presentation.
In continuous text, the face produces a smooth, even color at larger sizes while the thin strokes and fine serifs emphasize a premium, print-oriented feel. The design balances clarity with ornament through subtle calligraphic modulation rather than overt flourish.
