A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and confident, darker stems, creating a clear thick–thin rhythm across both text and display sizes. Serifs are fine and neatly bracketed, with sharp, clean terminals and a generally vertical stress that reads as classical and composed. Proportions feel balanced and slightly tall, with open counters in letters like C, O, and e, and a controlled, even baseline and cap height. Numerals show the same calligraphic contrast and elegance, with slender curves and decisive joins.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and cultured headline work where contrast and elegance are desired. It can also serve refined branding, packaging, and formal invitations, especially where a classic serif voice and crisp detail help signal quality and tradition.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a distinctly refined, traditional voice. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted curves evoke formality and sophistication, leaning toward literary and magazine aesthetics rather than casual or utilitarian moods.
Likely designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast text serif feel with enough sharpness and poise to scale into display use. The intent appears to balance readability with a sophisticated, fashion-forward refinement through disciplined proportions and finely drawn hairlines.
In running text the strong contrast creates a lively sparkle, while larger sizes emphasize the sculptural quality of curves and the razor-fine serifs. The letterforms maintain a consistent, disciplined rhythm, giving paragraphs a clean, composed texture with a slightly luxurious feel.
