A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and weighty main strokes that create a sharp, polished texture on the page. Serifs are bracketed and finely pointed, with elegant transitions into stems and pronounced thick–thin modulation across rounds and diagonals. Proportions feel slightly expanded with generous counters and a steady baseline rhythm; curves are smooth and controlled, and terminals tend toward delicate, tapered finishes rather than blunt cuts.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where contrast and crisp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits editorial layouts, book covers, and title pages that call for a classic, elevated tone, and can lend formality to invitations or brand materials when set with ample spacing and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, projecting a sense of tradition, authority, and careful craft. Its dramatic contrast adds a subtle fashion and magazine sensibility while remaining rooted in bookish, classical forms.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with elevated contrast and a more luxurious, contemporary editorial polish. Its controlled modulation and clean, consistent detailing suggest a focus on elegance and typographic presence rather than neutrality.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and thin connecting strokes produce a bright, lively color with clear word shapes. The capitals read stately and composed, and the numerals carry the same sharp contrast and elegant detailing, supporting a cohesive typographic voice across display and reading sizes.
