A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering hairlines. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, with a clean, high-contrast rhythm that stays steady across caps and lowercase. Capitals feel tall and stately, with elegant curves in C, G, O, and Q, while the lowercase shows compact, controlled forms with narrow joins and fine terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate diagonals and graceful curves that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, and brand marks where the high contrast can shine. It also fits premium packaging and book-cover titling, and can work for short editorial passages when set large enough to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting a sense of luxury and formality. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing create a poised, fashion-forward feel, while the conventional proportions keep it grounded and familiar.
This font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-end serif voice with strong contrast and precise finishing, prioritizing elegance and impact in titles and prominent text settings.
The design emphasizes vertical stress and a clean, print-oriented sharpness, with particularly thin horizontals in letters like E, F, and T and fine entry/exit strokes in the lowercase. The ampersand and punctuation shown in the sample text reinforce the same crisp, high-contrast character.
