A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines set against sturdy vertical stems and clean, bracketed serifs. The design shows a distinctly high-waisted structure: crossbars and bowls sit relatively high, with narrow apertures and compact interior spaces. Curves are smooth and controlled, with pointed terminals and teardrop-like joins on several letters, giving the outlines a carved, deliberate rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase keeps a short x-height with clear ascenders and descenders, maintaining an elegant, vertical texture in running text.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and display typography in editorial layouts where high contrast can be showcased. It also fits refined branding applications—such as luxury packaging, cultural institutions, and book or album covers—where a classical serif voice is beneficial. For extended text, it will perform best with generous sizes and comfortable leading to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a fashion-forward, editorial sheen. Its crisp contrast and sculpted details read as premium and formal, suited to settings where sophistication and authority are desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text serif: formal proportions, crisp contrast, and carefully shaped terminals aimed at creating an elegant, premium voice for both editorial display and polished typographic settings.
In the samples, the thin strokes become very delicate at larger sizes, emphasizing the font’s refined contrast and making spacing and line breaks visually prominent. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with a mix of straight-sided forms and sweeping curves that reinforce a classic, typeset feel.
