A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow, with sharp triangular apexes (notably in A and V) and clean, straight-sided geometry balanced by rounded bowls. The lowercase shows a compact, traditional rhythm with clear vertical stress, tight joints, and teardrop-like terminals in places; the g is double-storey and the e has a fine horizontal bar. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes that read best at display sizes.
This design suits magazine headlines, cover lines, and book titles where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also support premium branding and poster typography, especially when paired with generous spacing and high-quality output. For long passages, it will be most comfortable in larger sizes where the hairlines remain stable and legible.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting elegance and authority. Its sharp contrast and delicate finishing details suggest a premium, fashion-forward sensibility while still feeling rooted in classic book and newspaper typography.
The font appears intended as a modern, high-contrast interpretation of conventional serif letterforms, optimized to deliver a sophisticated editorial voice. Its design emphasizes elegance through strong modulation, sharp serifs, and controlled proportions to create a distinctive, upscale typographic color.
Stroke contrast and hairline details become the dominant visual feature, creating a shimmering texture in text and dramatic color in larger settings. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the design keeps a disciplined, upright posture with minimal calligraphic flourish.
