A high-contrast serif with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and crisp, tapering hairlines. The letterforms are upright and fairly traditional, with bracketed serifs, sharp terminals, and a distinctly vertical stress that gives the texture a polished, editorial feel. Proportions are moderately narrow overall with noticeable glyph-to-glyph width variation—especially in capitals—while counters stay open enough to keep the page color clean at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing details.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other medium-to-large settings where the fine hairlines can remain intact. It also works well for magazine and book-cover typography, cultural/event posters, and formal printed materials where a refined serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, projecting a sense of formality and print sophistication. It feels at home in contexts that want authority and elegance rather than warmth or informality.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast text serif: elegant, authoritative, and optimized for stylish editorial composition and prominent typographic moments.
In continuous text the strong vertical emphasis and delicate hairlines create a sparkling, high-fashion texture; spacing appears measured and consistent, with clear shapes in both capitals and lowercase. The design reads as intentionally “dressy,” prioritizing sharp detail and contrast over ruggedness.
