This serif typeface is built around pronounced contrast between thick stems and very thin hairlines, with a clear vertical stress and crisp, lightly bracketed serifs. Proportions lean broad and generously spaced, giving capitals a stately, open footprint and making rounds like C, O, and Q feel expansive. The lowercase shows compact, controlled forms with delicate entry strokes and fine, tapering terminals; counters stay open and the rhythm is measured rather than busy. Numerals echo the same contrast and sharp finishing, reading cleanly with a slightly formal, print-oriented flavor.
It performs best in display settings such as headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and refined branding where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short-form book or editorial typography in comfortable sizes, especially when paired with generous leading and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, evoking editorial sophistication and a classic, high-end sensibility. Its strong thick–thin transitions and elegant hairlines lend a dramatic, poised voice suited to polished, composed typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classical, high-contrast serif letterforms—prioritizing elegance, spaciousness, and a polished page color for premium editorial and brand applications.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright texture and a slightly sparkling surface, while the wide set keeps lines from feeling cramped. The ampersand and the curved descenders/terminals in letters like g, j, and y add a subtle calligraphic touch without becoming ornamental.
