A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, rounded joins, and finely bracketed serifs. The forms show a vertical, steady stress and a polished, contemporary take on classic book serifs, with ample counters and clear stroke modulation. Capitals feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains an even rhythm with slightly high-waisted curves and neatly tapered terminals. Numerals appear text-friendly with elegant contrast and carefully shaped bowls.
Well suited to magazine headlines, cover lines, and brand wordmarks where contrast and finesse are an asset. It can also serve in book covers and editorial pull quotes, and in formal materials such as invitations or programs where a classic, upscale voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, projecting sophistication and a premium, fashion-forward sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs add a sense of ceremony and authority without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif for editorial and brand settings, prioritizing sharp contrast, elegant proportions, and a clean typographic rhythm that feels both traditional and current.
In longer text, the strong thick–thin transitions create a lively texture that reads as crisp and upscale, especially at display sizes. The detailing in curves and terminals gives it a precise, typeset feel suited to carefully art-directed typography.
