A refined roman with pronounced thick–thin modulation and generally crisp, clean terminals. The forms are tall and open, with generous counters and a measured rhythm that keeps long lines airy. Curves are smoothly drawn and bowls read as carefully sculpted, while joins and diagonals stay sharp and controlled. The lowercase shows a contemporary serif sensibility with a single-storey “g” and a distinctive “t” that uses a long, slender crossbar.
This font excels in headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and brand marks where its contrast and crisp detailing can be appreciated. It also suits packaging and formal materials such as invitations or event collateral, especially in larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and composed, leaning toward luxury and editorial polish. Its contrast and delicate hairlines convey finesse and restraint, producing a high-end, cultured voice suited to premium branding.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary reading of a classic contrasted roman, balancing fashion-forward sharpness with a clean, uncluttered silhouette. It prioritizes visual refinement and a luxurious tone over ruggedness or utilitarian neutrality.
The numerals and capitals feel display-oriented, with ample white space and fine details that stand out at larger sizes. Distinctive gestures—such as the “Q” tail and the energetic diagonals in letters like “K,” “V,” and “W”—add character without disrupting the calm texture of paragraphs.
