A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and clean, sculpted joins. The serifs are delicate and bracketed, and the round letters are drawn with smooth, generous curves that contrast with narrow internal strokes. Proportions feel classical and bookish, while the overall rhythm is elegant and airy, with a pronounced thick–thin pattern that becomes especially striking in larger sizes.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts, fashion and beauty branding, and cultural or corporate communications that need an elevated tone. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and large-size typography where the contrast and fine serifs can read as a deliberate stylistic feature. For extended text, it will favor higher-quality print or comfortably sized digital settings where hairlines remain intact.
This typeface conveys a refined, editorial tone with a sense of luxury and calm authority. Its sharp hairlines and poised shapes feel fashion-forward and cultured, suited to sophisticated, high-end communication rather than casual or rustic settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished, high-end reading voice with strong typographic contrast and crisp detailing. Its structure balances classical serif conventions with a cleaner, more contemporary sharpness, aiming for sophistication and visual authority in display and editorial contexts.
The numerals and capitals carry a distinctly formal presence, with smooth curves and fine terminals that reinforce a premium feel. The lowercase shows a classic two-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’ and a graceful, slightly calligraphic modulation, contributing to a composed, literate texture in paragraphs.
