A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline detailing. The capitals are tall and stately with sharp, finely bracketed serifs and clean, tapered joins; curves show a vertical stress that keeps counters open and elegant. Lowercase forms read smoothly with a moderate x-height, narrow apertures, and consistent rhythmic spacing, while the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with crisp terminals and balanced proportions. Overall texture is light on the page, with strong calligraphic contrast and a polished, print-like finish.
Well-suited to magazine typography, display headlines, and book or album covers where its contrast can read clearly and feel premium. It also fits invitations and refined branding applications, particularly when set at larger sizes and with generous spacing.
The tone is sophisticated and composed, projecting a high-end editorial feel. Its sharp contrast and airy hairlines convey luxury and formality, while the restrained shapes keep it traditional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif for editorial and luxury-oriented typography. Its controlled proportions and sharp detailing prioritize elegance, clarity, and a distinctive, polished presence in display and premium text settings.
In paragraph setting the hairlines and thin crossbars create a bright, shimmering color, especially in larger sizes. The design favors elegance over robustness, with fine terminals and slender serifs that emphasize detail and precision.
