A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel lightly flared rather than blocky. Strokes move from hairline-thin horizontals and joins to confidently thick verticals, creating a crisp, polished rhythm. Capitals are stately with generous width and clear internal counters, while the lowercase stays relatively compact with a moderate x-height and pronounced ascenders. Curves are smooth and controlled, with neatly cut entry/exit strokes and a slightly calligraphic modulation visible across rounds and diagonals.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, book covers, and title pages where contrast and sharp serifs can contribute to a premium look. It can also serve in brand marks, packaging, and pull quotes, especially when set at larger sizes where the fine hairlines and sculpted terminals remain clear.
The tone is refined and editorial, projecting a classic, bookish authority with a fashion-magazine sheen. Its sharp detailing and dramatic contrast add sophistication and a sense of ceremony, making text feel composed and high-end rather than casual.
The design appears intended to modernize traditional text-serif proportions with heightened contrast and precise finishing, balancing readability with an unmistakably upscale display character. It aims for a versatile, cultured voice that can move between formal headlines and polished text settings.
The numerals echo the same contrast and sharp finishing, and the punctuation and dots appear clean and compact, supporting dense setting. In the text sample, the overall color stays lively and crisp, with hairlines that become a defining feature at display sizes and careful spacing that keeps the wide capitals from feeling clumsy.
