A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, fine hairline serifs, and a distinctly vertical stress. Capitals are stately and sharply drawn, with clean joins and tapered terminals that stay crisp even at display sizes. The lowercase shows a traditional book-face skeleton with compact, well-controlled curves, narrow apertures, and a two-storey "g"; counters are rounded yet tightly tuned, giving a polished rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast logic with strong vertical stems and delicate finishing strokes, maintaining a consistent, refined texture across the set.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and magazine-style titling where its contrast and crisp serifs can shine. It also fits book covers and formal collateral such as invitations or certificates, especially in larger sizes or with generous leading where hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, with a fashion-editorial elegance that also reads as scholarly and traditional. Its sharp contrast and neat finishing give it a poised, high-end character rather than a casual or utilitarian feel.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, conventional serif voice with elevated contrast for a more luxurious, attention-grabbing presence. It aims to combine traditional proportions with sharp, modern refinement for high-impact typography in editorial and formal contexts.
At text sizes the very thin horizontals and serifs contribute to a bright, slightly shimmering page color, while larger settings emphasize the dramatic contrast and sculpted curves. The design favors precision and restraint over warmth, with consistent spacing that supports clean word shapes in mixed-case setting.
