A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical stress. The capitals are stately and restrained, with sharp, hairline bracketless serifs and crisp, tapered stroke endings. Lowercase forms show a classic book face rhythm with a two-storey “a” and “g,” narrow joins, and delicate connecting strokes that emphasize the contrast. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing sturdy stems with fine hairlines and neat, pointed terminals for a polished, print-oriented texture.
Best suited to editorial settings such as magazine typography, book covers, and title treatments where high contrast can contribute drama and clarity. It also fits premium brand identities and elegant posters or invitations, especially when used with generous spacing and high-quality reproduction.
The font conveys a poised, cultivated tone—formal without feeling ornate. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing suggest sophistication and tradition, leaning toward a quiet luxury often associated with literary and editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a refined page texture for display and headline use while retaining familiar, conventional letterforms.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered serifs read as precise and stylish, while at smaller sizes the contrast becomes the dominant characteristic and creates a bright, lightly textured page color. The overall rhythm is consistent and measured, with slightly varied letter widths that help headlines feel lively while remaining disciplined.
