This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with delicate hairline serifs and crisp, tapered terminals. Proportions are tall and relatively compact, with a steady vertical rhythm and moderate spacing that keeps text color even despite the contrast. The capitals read stately and clean, while the lowercase balances compact bowls with fine entry/exit strokes; details like the curved descender on “y” and the two-storey “g” reinforce a formal, text-oriented construction. Figures follow the same contrast logic, with slender stems and clear, open counters.
It performs best in editorial contexts such as magazines, cultural publications, and book typography where a refined serif voice is desirable. The strong contrast and compact proportions also make it effective for luxury branding, headlines, pull quotes, and display sizes where its sharp details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and literary, leaning toward contemporary luxury rather than rustic or informal. Its sharpness and restraint convey confidence and sophistication, making it feel suited to premium, carefully art-directed typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif foundation with a heightened, fashion-forward finish—prioritizing elegant contrast, crisp detailing, and a composed reading rhythm for premium editorial and brand applications.
In paragraph settings the font maintains a bright, airy texture because the thins remain very fine; this creates a crisp page presence and a distinctly editorial feel. The italic is not shown, so the impression is based on the upright style displayed.
