A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and stronger verticals, showing a crisp, calligraphic stress and sculpted joins. Serifs are fine and pointed with a slightly flared, tapered feel, and curves are drawn with a polished, engraved smoothness. The proportions read a bit expanded, with generous counters and airy spacing; the lowercase has a notably petite x-height, making ascenders and capitals feel prominent in the overall texture.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book jackets, and cultural or arts branding where sophistication is desired. It can work for short-to-medium passages at comfortable sizes in print or high-resolution digital contexts, and it’s particularly effective for pull quotes, section openers, and elegant wordmarks.
This serif conveys a poised, editorial tone with a refined, slightly theatrical edge. The sharp contrast and delicate hairlines lend it a dressy, high-fashion mood, while the classic proportions keep it grounded and bookish rather than overtly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast for elegance and impact. Its petite x-height and fine detailing suggest an emphasis on style, hierarchy, and a luxurious reading color rather than utilitarian everyday text settings at small sizes.
The sample text shows a lively rhythm created by sharp contrast and narrow hairline connections, producing a sparkling texture in mixed case. Numerals follow the same refined, high-contrast approach, contributing to a cohesive, dressy typographic palette.
