A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and confident, dark main strokes, producing a distinctly crisp black-on-white color in text. Serifs are bracketed and finely pointed, with a slightly calligraphic stroke modulation that gives curved letters a sculpted feel. Proportions skew classical: capitals are stately with clean vertical stress, while lowercase shows compact forms and clear differentiation between thick and thin. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, with strong verticals and delicate terminals that read as refined rather than robust.
Well-suited to editorial design such as magazine headlines, book covers, and section titles where contrast and elegance are desirable. It can also support refined branding, packaging, and formal invitations when used at sizes that preserve the delicate hairlines. For longer passages, it works best in comfortable reading sizes with adequate leading to keep the high contrast from feeling tight.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, evoking traditional book typography with a fashionable, high-end finish. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, making it feel suited to cultured, literary contexts as well as upscale branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading voice with heightened contrast and crisp detailing, balancing traditional proportions with a more dramatic, fashion-oriented finish. It aims to project authority and refinement while maintaining the familiar structure of conventional text serifs.
In continuous text, the heavy main strokes create a firm rhythm while the hairlines and small interior details demand sufficient size and printing/screen clarity. Curved joins and terminals are handled with precision, giving the face a slightly display-leaning sparkle even when set in paragraph form.
