A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms show a strong vertical stress and clean, tapered terminals, with a cool, sharply cut finish rather than rounded endings. Proportions are fairly traditional, with compact lowercase forms, clear two-storey a and g, and lining numerals that echo the same high-contrast rhythm. Overall spacing and rhythm feel measured and orderly, with strokes that snap between bold stems and very fine connecting hairlines.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and brand identities that benefit from a polished, high-contrast serif voice. It can also work for short passages in editorial layouts when set with comfortable size and leading to preserve the fine details.
The tone is poised and high-end, projecting an editorial and fashion-forward sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing lend a sense of ceremony and authority, suited to premium or literary contexts rather than casual everyday UI.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, classic high-contrast serif look: elegant, controlled, and attention-grabbing, with hairline detailing that emphasizes sophistication and hierarchy in layouts.
Uppercase forms read especially stately, with sturdy verticals and delicate cross-strokes that create a bright, shimmering texture at larger sizes. The design’s precision and hairline details make it most convincing when given enough size and print-like resolution so the fine strokes remain distinct.
