A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and prominent thick strokes, set on an upright axis. Serifs are fine and sharp with a slightly calligraphic, flared quality, and many curves show a subtle swelling that enhances the engraved look. Capitals feel stately and spacious with crisp joins and narrow internal counters, while the lowercase keeps a compact, short-bodied rhythm that emphasizes ascenders and descenders. Numerals and punctuation match the same delicate-to-bold modulation, giving the overall texture a refined, bright page color at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine titling, and brand marks where high contrast and fine serifs can render cleanly. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, especially in print contexts where the hairlines won’t break up.
The tone is polished and classic, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-leaning sophistication. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing details project formality and luxury, evoking traditional book typography and high-end print craft.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast text serif: elegant proportions, crisp serifs, and a lively calligraphic finish aimed at premium editorial and branding applications.
Stroke modulation is consistent across rounds and diagonals, and the font shows a slightly variable, hand-cut energy in terminals and curves rather than purely mechanical geometry. The lowercase includes expressive details (notably in g, y, and j descenders) that add character without becoming ornamental.
