This serif displays a sharply contrasted construction with thick main stems and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are delicate and crisp, with a predominantly straight, unbracketed feel that keeps the joins clean and the silhouettes precise. Proportions are fairly classic: capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase shows a moderate x-height with tall ascenders and descenders that create a high-waisted rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are generous, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) read as taut and carefully balanced, giving the overall texture a polished, print-oriented finish.
It suits headlines, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where contrast and refinement are key. The font is also well aligned with book covers, cultural posters, and branding systems that need a classic serif voice with a modern, high-fashion edge, especially when set at larger sizes where the hairlines can breathe.
The tone is formal and cultivated, suggesting luxury and editorial authority rather than casual utility. Its fine hairlines and poised contrast convey sophistication, with a calm, composed presence that feels at home in high-end or literary contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a classic, high-contrast serif: dramatic in silhouette, controlled in detail, and optimized for elegant hierarchy in editorial and display settings.
At text sizes the hairline details and thin connections contribute to a light, shimmering page color, while large sizes emphasize the sculptural contrast and sharp terminals. Numerals and capitals carry a display-like confidence, while the lowercase remains disciplined and readable, creating a clear hierarchy when mixing sizes and weights in layouts.
