This typeface is a high-contrast serif with extremely thin hairlines and sharply defined main strokes. Serifs are fine and precise, with a predominantly straight, classical structure and a vertical stress that keeps rounds feeling poised and formal. Proportions are tall and slightly narrow, with generous counters and clear separation between thick stems and delicate connecting strokes. The lowercase shows a traditional bookish rhythm, with a two-storey “g,” a sharp-shouldered “r,” and clean, tapered terminals that read crisply at display sizes.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style editorial typography, large headlines, and premium brand identities where contrast and finesse are desirable. It also fits book covers, titles, and formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs, especially when set with comfortable tracking and good reproduction quality.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward character. Its contrast and airy hairlines suggest sophistication and ceremony rather than casual warmth, giving text a composed, premium voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif for elegant display and editorial use. It prioritizes sharpness, vertical poise, and refined detailing to create a sophisticated typographic presence.
The numerals and capitals match the same refined contrast, producing a strong hierarchy and a distinctly formal cadence. In running text, the fine details and tight hairlines create an intentionally delicate texture that favors careful typesetting and adequate size/printing conditions.
