A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines against strong vertical stems and a distinctly vertical, upright stance. Serifs are fine and crisp with subtle bracketing, and the joins taper cleanly into thin terminals, giving the outlines a polished, engraved feel. Proportions are balanced with moderate capitals and a normal x-height; counters are open and rounded, while curves show controlled thinning at the extremes. The overall rhythm is smooth and bookish, with precise stroke modulation and clear differentiation between thick and thin across both roman capitals and lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and book titles where high contrast can add sophistication and hierarchy. It also fits luxury branding, fashion materials, and formal invitations, especially for display and large text. For body copy, it will shine most in print-like contexts or on screens where fine hairlines can be rendered cleanly.
The tone is classic and cultivated, projecting sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or casualness. Its dramatic contrast and delicate details evoke traditional publishing and luxury cues, making text feel elevated and ceremonial. The overall impression is confident and formal, suited to content that benefits from a sense of heritage and refinement.
This design appears intended as a contemporary, high-contrast interpretation of a conventional text serif, emphasizing elegance and clarity through disciplined proportions and crisp serif detailing. The strong thick–thin modulation and tidy terminals suggest a focus on refined typography for editorial and brand-forward settings.
At larger sizes the hairline details and tapered terminals become a defining feature, giving headlines a luminous, high-end sheen. The glyph set shown maintains consistent contrast and serif treatment across letters and figures, with numerals matching the same refined, vertical rhythm as the text.
