A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline terminals that stay crisp in both text and display sizes. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, with a controlled, vertical rhythm and clear, formal proportions. Curves are smooth and taut, counters are open, and join behavior tends toward sharp, clean transitions—especially noticeable in letters like S, a, e, and g. The overall texture is airy and polished, with strong contrast creating a bright page color and a distinctly editorial cadence.
Well-suited to magazine and editorial layouts, book typography with a sophisticated tone, and luxury branding where contrast and refinement are desirable. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and titling, where the hairline details and sharp modulation can be appreciated.
The font conveys a poised, upscale tone—confident and composed rather than ornate. Its sharp contrast and fine finishing details suggest fashion, culture, and premium print, while the restrained, conventional structure keeps it sober and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading serif with a distinctly contemporary, high-contrast polish. It prioritizes elegance, structured rhythm, and a premium page texture for editorial and brand-forward applications.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, reading stylish and precise, with elegant curves and fine terminals. In continuous text the thin strokes and small details become a defining feature of the texture, giving paragraphs a crisp, high-end look that benefits from comfortable sizing and sufficient reproduction quality.
