A high-contrast serif with crisp hairline serifs and strong thick–thin modulation, built on upright, classically proportioned letterforms. Strokes show a vertical stress with sharp joins and clean, tapered terminals, giving counters a polished, sculpted feel. Capitals are stately and slightly expanded, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with compact, well-shaped bowls and clearly defined apertures. Numerals and punctuation match the sharp contrast and refined finishing, keeping the overall texture dark in stems and light at the extremities.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style display, book covers and chapter openers, and brand identities that benefit from a refined, classical serif voice. It will be especially effective in large sizes for headlines and titling, where the high contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated.
The tone is elegant and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing suggest fashion, culture, and prestige contexts rather than utilitarian text.
Designed to deliver a timeless, high-end serif look with pronounced contrast and disciplined, traditional structure. The intention appears focused on elegant display typography that still retains the conventions needed for composed editorial setting.
The sample text shows strong headline presence: thick verticals create confident color, while hairline serifs and thin horizontals add sparkle at larger sizes. Curved letters (such as C, G, O, Q) read as carefully drawn and slightly calligraphic in stress, reinforcing a traditional, high-end voice.
