A high-contrast serif design with crisp, tapered terminals and finely cut details. Stems are relatively sturdy while hairlines stay very thin, creating a bright, shimmering texture in text. The serifs are sharp and slightly bracketed, with a distinctly triangular, carved quality in letters like A, V, W, and Y. Curves (C, S, O) are smooth and controlled, and the overall proportioning feels balanced and traditionally structured, with clear differentiation between thick verticals and delicate connecting strokes.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book cover titling where contrast and detail can shine. It also fits refined branding and formal printed materials that benefit from a classic, high-end voice.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting a sense of refinement and authority. Its sharp, high-contrast drawing adds a touch of drama that reads as fashion-forward and literary rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading and display experience with a modern sharpness—combining traditional proportions with crisp, sculpted finishing for a premium, print-oriented feel.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and hairlines become prominent at larger sizes, while the strong verticals keep the rhythm stable. The numerals follow the same contrast model, with open counters and fine joins that suit display settings and carefully set text.
