This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline, sharply tapered serifs and smooth, controlled curves. The overall construction feels crisp and rational, with a fairly vertical stress and clean joins that keep counters open despite the delicate horizontals. Uppercase proportions read stately and slightly narrow, while lowercase maintains a measured rhythm with a modest x-height and fine terminals that emphasize a polished, high-contrast texture in text.
It suits editorial typography where elegance and contrast are desired—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section titles—along with book covers and sophisticated branding. It will also work well in formal collateral such as invitations and packaging when set with comfortable size and leading to preserve the fine details.
The tone is refined and upscale, leaning toward fashion and cultural publishing aesthetics. Its delicate hairlines and poised shapes suggest formality and careful craft, creating a composed, premium voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a modern, polished finish—prioritizing elegance, clarity of silhouette, and a refined reading rhythm for display-led typography.
In the text sample, the font produces a bright, shimmering page color typical of high-contrast serifs, where thin strokes recede and verticals dominate the rhythm. The numerals and capitals carry a display-like elegance that pairs naturally with generous spacing and larger sizes.
