A polished serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, high-end rhythm. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with sharp terminals that read cleanly at display sizes. The letterforms show a traditional, calligraphic stress and generous, smooth curves in round letters, balanced by sturdier vertical stems. Proportions feel slightly compact in the lowercase with clear counters, while capitals present a stately, even presence; overall spacing reads measured and composed rather than loose or condensed.
It performs especially well in magazine layouts, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and other typographic moments where contrast and detail can be appreciated. The composed texture also supports short to medium text in high-quality print or large on-screen settings, making it a strong option for luxury identities, cultural institutions, and formal announcements.
The font conveys a cultured, editorial tone—poised and luxurious without feeling ornamental. Its sharp hairlines and graceful curves suggest sophistication and formality, suited to premium branding and curated publishing contexts.
The design appears aimed at delivering a timeless, editorial serif voice with elevated contrast and carefully controlled details for a premium feel. It prioritizes refinement and typographic color suitable for sophisticated layouts over utilitarian neutrality.
The numeral set follows the same refined contrast and looks designed to sit comfortably alongside text, with a restrained, classic silhouette. Diagonals (such as in V/W/X) are kept crisp, reinforcing a clean, modern finish on an otherwise traditional serif structure.
