A refined serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs that read as finely cut and bracketed rather than blunt. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow, with smooth, tense curves (notably in C, G, and S) and tapered terminals that keep counters open and clean. Lowercase forms feel text-oriented with a modest x-height, compact bowls, and delicate entry/exit strokes; the italicless, upright construction stays steady while allowing subtle width variation between glyphs. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with graceful curves and sharp finishing strokes that remain legible while looking polished.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book jackets, and other high-end print or digital layouts where contrast and refinement are desirable. It also fits formal invitations, luxury branding, and pull quotes where a polished, classical voice is needed.
The overall tone is luxurious and literary, evoking fashion, publishing, and formal correspondence. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions convey sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and typographic authority in titles and polished reading settings.
At display sizes the hairline detailing and tapered joins look especially crisp; in longer passages the strong contrast creates a lively shimmer that benefits from comfortable sizes and generous spacing. Round letters maintain a consistent, slightly oval tension, giving the set a cohesive, editorial rhythm.
