This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with very fine hairlines and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, giving the strokes a crisp, carved finish without feeling slab-like. Capitals are stately and moderately wide with smooth curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and clean, confident diagonals. The lowercase blends compact bowls with delicate joins and a two-storey g; ascenders are relatively tall and the overall rhythm is airy due to the light hairlines. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin connecting strokes and pointed terminals that keep the figures crisp at display sizes.
It is well suited to editorial typography, book covers, and magazine layouts where high contrast and refined serifs can shine. It can also support premium branding, invitations, and large-format headlines or pull quotes, especially when set with generous tracking and leading.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, with a distinctly bookish, editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and fine finishing details read as polished and formal, leaning toward luxury and classic print tradition rather than casual everyday UI.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: elegant, crisp, and optimized for sophisticated display and editorial settings while maintaining conventional, readable letterforms.
At larger sizes the design feels very clean and controlled, with smooth curves and tight detailing; at smaller sizes the extremely thin hairlines and small serifs may require careful size and color choices to maintain clarity. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman.
