A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline serifs and strong thick–thin modulation. The forms show a pronounced vertical stress and elegant, slightly calligraphic tapering in curves and joins. Serifs are fine and generally bracketed, with clean, sharp terminals that keep counters open and shapes articulate at display sizes. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with measured spacing and a rhythm that alternates robust stems against delicate connecting strokes.
It suits editorial typography, magazine headlines, and book or report titling where high contrast can shine. The refined detailing also fits luxury branding, packaging, and formal stationery such as invitations, especially when set with generous leading and not-too-small sizes.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a fashion/editorial kind of drama that reads as premium and composed. Its contrast and sharp detailing add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, while the classic construction keeps it grounded and familiar.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a conventional text serif by emphasizing elegance through pronounced contrast and precise serif finishing. It aims for a composed reading rhythm with a distinctly upscale, display-friendly presence when scaled up.
Uppercase letters present confident, classical silhouettes (notably in round forms like C/O/Q and the wide, structured M/W), while lowercase maintains clarity with compact joins and finely cut terminals. Numerals echo the same contrast and refinement, with slender horizontals and pronounced curved modulation.
