A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines, strong vertical stress, and crisp, bracketed serifs that end in sharp, slightly flared terminals. Curves are tightly drawn and elegant, with pronounced thick–thin modulation in rounds like O and C and delicately tapered joins. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with a moderate x-height, compact bowls, and relatively narrow apertures that create a polished, controlled texture in paragraphs. Numerals and capitals show similarly dramatic contrast, with fine horizontals and sturdy stems that emphasize a refined rhythm.
Well suited to magazine typography, book titles, and large-size editorial settings where its contrast and fine detailing can shine. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefit from a classic, cultivated serif voice, especially in short texts, pull quotes, and headings.
The overall tone is poised and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its sharp details and dramatic contrast convey luxury and tradition rather than warmth, lending a measured, cultured voice to headlines and formal reading contexts.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a traditional, high-end reading and display aesthetic, combining classical proportions with modern crispness. The emphasis on contrast, sharp serifs, and controlled spacing suggests an intention to project refinement and authority in editorial and brand-focused applications.
The design’s thin strokes and fine serifs read very cleanly at display sizes, while the tight counters and hairlines suggest it will feel more delicate as sizes get smaller. The italic is not shown; the visible style maintains a consistent upright, classical posture throughout letters and figures.
