A high-contrast serif with hairline bracketed serifs and a predominantly vertical stress, giving the forms a crisp, engraved feel. Stems are sturdy while connecting strokes thin down to near-hairlines, creating a bright, sparkling texture in text. Capitals are stately and open with generous counters; round letters show smooth, controlled curves, and diagonals taper elegantly into sharp terminals. The lowercase maintains a traditional book rhythm with a moderate x-height, clear ascenders/descenders, and precise joins that keep spacing feeling tidy and intentional.
This style excels in editorial design, book or magazine titling, and refined branding where a classic, high-contrast voice is desired. It is especially effective for headlines, pull quotes, and elegant packaging or invitations, where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and formal, with a pronounced sense of elegance and drama from the strong thick–thin contrast. It reads as classically literary and editorial, projecting sophistication and a slightly ceremonial, high-end character.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif structure with a more luxurious, high-contrast finish, balancing traditional proportions with a striking, polished presence for display and editorial use.
At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature, while in dense paragraphs the contrast produces a lively, shimmering rhythm. Numerals share the same calligraphic contrast and look well-suited to display contexts where detail is preserved.
