This typeface is a high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The overall build is upright with a slightly expanded feel, pairing tall capitals and sturdy vertical stems with fine connecting strokes and tapered terminals. Curves are smoothly drawn and tend to show a vertical stress, while many joins are subtly bracketed, helping the thin strokes flow into the heavier main strokes. Spacing reads open and even in text, and the forms maintain a consistent, polished rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
It is well suited to editorial typography—magazine layouts, feature headlines, and display copy where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also work effectively for book covers and premium branding applications that benefit from a classic serif voice and a polished, high-contrast texture.
The font conveys a refined, editorial tone with a poised, high-fashion sensibility. Its sharp contrast and clean finishing details lend it a formal, premium character that feels confident and composed rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice with traditional roots—prioritizing elegance, sharp detailing, and a confident typographic presence for display and editorial use.
Distinctive details include crisp wedge-like entry/exit strokes on several lowercase letters and a strong contrast between the bold main stems and delicate cross-strokes. In paragraph settings the letterforms remain clear, but the very thin elements become a key part of the visual signature, emphasizing a bright, engraved-like texture.
