A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clear vertical stress. Stems are sturdy while horizontals and serifs drop to fine hairlines, creating a crisp, high-definition rhythm. Serifs are sharp and mostly unbracketed, with tapered terminals that feel precise rather than soft. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and relatively tall ascenders, and the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure with a two-storey a and g. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with delicate joins and strong verticals.
Well-suited to editorial design, display typography, and premium brand applications where contrast and sophistication are assets. It performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and title treatments, and can support short-to-medium passages in print-forward contexts when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, conveying an editorial, fashion-forward elegance. Its sharp hairlines and clean symmetry read as formal and considered, with a subtle classical authority rather than a casual or rustic feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a classic, contrast-led serif: sharp, structured letterforms paired with hairline detailing to create elegance and strong typographic hierarchy in display and editorial settings.
In text, the contrast produces a lively sparkle and clear hierarchy, especially in capitals. The thin strokes and fine serifs give a delicate finish that benefits from adequate size and good printing or screen rendering conditions.
