A high-contrast serif with sharp, hairline finishing and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. The letters show elegant, tapered serifs and finely pointed terminals, with smooth curves and controlled stress that reads as upright and composed. Uppercase forms are stately with generous width and clear interior counters, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and uses compact, bookish shapes (notably in a two-storey “g” and a narrow, curved “f”). Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with delicate joins and distinctive, calligraphic curves in figures like 2, 3, and 5.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It also fits magazine layouts, book covers, and premium branding systems that want a classic serif voice with a contemporary, high-fashion edge.
The tone is polished and editorial, combining classic book-serif tradition with a fashion-forward crispness. Its delicate details and dramatic contrast create a sense of luxury and formality, suited to sophisticated, curated typography rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast interpretation of a conventional text serif: readable structure paired with heightened elegance and dramatic stroke modulation. It prioritizes refined rhythm, crisp detailing, and an upscale tone for editorial and brand-led typography.
The face relies on fine hairlines and sharp details, so it visually favors generous sizes and careful reproduction. In the sample text, word shapes remain clear while the contrast and thin serifs contribute a lively rhythm and a distinctly “display-text” presence even in paragraph-like settings.
