A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clear vertical stress. Stems are firm and dark while hairlines and serifs resolve to very fine, crisp terminals, creating a bright, delicate texture at text sizes. Serifs are small and sharp with minimal bracketing, and curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and taut, balancing generous sidebearings with a measured, slightly expansive footprint. The lowercase shows a traditional book-ish structure with a two-storey g, a compact ear on g, and narrow joins that emphasize the hairline connections.
Best suited to editorial design, fashion and culture magazines, and refined headline work where its hairlines can print cleanly. It also fits luxury branding and book-cover typography, particularly in larger sizes where the contrast and sharp serifs read as intentional detail.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a polished, magazine-like sophistication. Its contrast and finely cut details lend a sense of ceremony and prestige, while the restrained construction keeps it from feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a modern high-contrast serif: dramatic modulation, crisp finishing, and a controlled, upright posture aimed at premium editorial and display typography.
In running text the alternating dark verticals and pale hairlines produce a distinctly rhythmic, high-end editorial color, especially in mixed-case settings. Numerals appear lining and similarly contrasted, with delicate top serifs and fine curved sections that match the text’s refinement.
