A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharp, reading as hairline wedges with minimal bracketing, and curves transition quickly into thin strokes, giving counters a crisp, polished edge. Proportions are on the condensed side with tall capitals and relatively compact lowercase widths, while ascenders and descenders provide a composed, traditional rhythm. Numerals and capitals feel statuesque and formal, with smooth, rounded bowls paired to delicate connecting strokes.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and editorial typography where high contrast can add drama and hierarchy. It also fits refined brand expressions—such as luxury packaging, invitations, and cultural programs—where a crisp, classical serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, with a fashion-and-editorial kind of sophistication. Its sharp hairlines and glossy contrast project authority and refinement, leaning toward classic bookish elegance rather than casual friendliness.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical, high-contrast serif: dramatic stroke modulation, sharp finishing details, and compact proportions aimed at elegant display typography and polished editorial settings.
The design rewards ample sizes and generous spacing where the thin strokes can stay clean and distinct. In dense settings, the hairlines and narrow interior spaces can become visually delicate, so it benefits from careful typographic color management.
