A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, hairline horizontals, and sharp, clean terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed to mostly unbracketed in feel, with crisp joins and a slightly sculpted, calligraphic edge rather than purely geometric construction. Uppercase proportions are balanced and dignified, with wide bowls and strong vertical stress; the lowercase shows compact, rounded counters and a steady rhythm that reads smoothly in text. Figures align well with the style, mixing sturdy verticals with delicate cross-strokes and tapered curves for a refined, print-like color.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book-cover titles—where contrast and refinement are assets. It can also support premium branding and packaging when used at sizes that preserve the delicate hairlines, and it performs best in layouts that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and upscale editorial design. Its dramatic contrast and fine details create a sense of luxury and ceremony, leaning toward fashion-magazine sophistication while still feeling rooted in classical serif conventions.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly refined text-serif presence with elevated contrast and crisp detailing, aiming for elegance and authority in both headlines and well-spaced text settings.
In display sizes the hairlines and tight apertures give crisp sparkle, while in text the strong verticals create a confident, slightly formal texture. Curved letters show evident vertical stress and carefully controlled tapering, contributing to a poised, high-end impression.
