This serif shows a strong modern-leaning contrast with very fine hairlines and crisp, tapered serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with rounded bowls that meet stems in sharp, clean joins, giving the forms a polished, sculpted feel. Proportions are fairly traditional with a moderate x-height, generous apertures, and slightly condensed-looking capitals; spacing reads even and deliberate in the text sample. Numerals and punctuation-like details (such as the ampersand style) match the same high-contrast, finely finished construction.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book covers, and headline systems where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and formal print materials, especially when used at sizes and on substrates that maintain the delicacy of the hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, suggesting an editorial, fashion, or bookish sensibility rather than a utilitarian one. Its sharp contrast and delicate detailing convey luxury and formality, while the calm rhythm in text keeps it feeling composed and readable at display-to-text sizes where fine strokes can be preserved.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-end serif voice: sharp, high-contrast letterforms that feel luxurious and authoritative while retaining a classical foundation for readable, structured typography.
The design’s thin connecting strokes and sharp terminals create a bright page color and a distinctly “engraved” sparkle in larger settings. The lowercase shows a classic two-storey a and g, and the italic-like liveliness comes from subtle stroke modulation rather than actual slant.
