A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and strong, tapering main strokes, giving the letterforms a sculpted, engraving-like clarity. Serifs are crisp and largely bracketed, with pointed, wedge-like terminals that stay delicate even at display sizes. Proportions feel traditional with moderate x-height and varied widths across the alphabet, producing a lively rhythm; curves are smooth and round while joins and apexes are kept sharp and controlled. Numerals and capitals carry pronounced contrast and refined finishing, and the lowercase shows compact counters and tightly drawn details that read as elegant rather than blunt.
Well suited for magazine typography, book and editorial headlines, and premium branding where contrast and refinement are desirable. It will also work effectively for invitations, labels, and other display-led applications where the fine serifs and sharp hairlines can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting a sense of heritage, refinement, and premium craft. Its sharp hairlines and poised serifs lend a formal, literary character, while the strong contrast adds a fashion-forward, luxurious edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif: authoritative and readable, but with enough drama in contrast and finishing to stand out in editorial and brand contexts.
In text settings the hairlines and fine serifs become a defining feature, creating a sparkling texture and a slightly dramatic page color. At larger sizes, the delicate terminals, bracket transitions, and distinctive shapes (notably the curved ‘Q’ tail and pointed diagonals) come through with crisp personality.
