A delicate, high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and stronger vertical stems, creating a distinctly crisp, dressy rhythm. Serifs are fine and precise, with tapered entry/exit strokes and a clean, controlled modulation throughout. Capitals are tall and stately with generous inner counters, while the lowercase keeps a balanced, bookish texture; the two-storey “a” and “g” are compact and neatly finished. Numerals follow the same sharp contrast, with open, airy forms and refined terminals that stay consistent across the set.
Well suited to magazine layouts, book covers, and other editorial settings where refinement and hierarchy are important. It can add a premium feel to branding and packaging, and works especially well for display sizes such as headlines, pull quotes, and section titles where its contrast can shine.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, communicating luxury and editorial polish rather than ruggedness or warmth. Its sharp contrast and airy spacing feel sophisticated and formal, evoking classic print typography and high-end publishing aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, contemporary take on a refined text serif: sharp contrast for sophistication, disciplined detailing for readability, and a dignified set of capitals for strong titling.
In text, the hairline connections and thin serifs contribute to a bright page color and a slightly sparkling texture at larger sizes. The letterforms favor clarity through open counters and careful proportions, while the pronounced contrast gives headings a dramatic, upscale presence.
