A high-contrast serif with fine hairlines and strongly weighted vertical stems, producing a crisp black-and-white rhythm on the page. Serifs are bracketed and taper to sharp terminals, with a restrained, upright stance and fairly traditional proportions. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters stay open, and the overall spacing reads balanced—supporting both large display settings and structured text composition. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with slender connecting strokes and decisive thick-thin transitions.
Well-suited to magazine design, book jackets, and headline typography where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also support premium brand identities and formal collateral such as invitations or certificates, especially when given adequate size and comfortable leading to preserve the thin strokes.
The tone is polished and classical, with a distinctly editorial feel that suggests formality and taste. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs convey sophistication and authority rather than warmth or casualness, making the texture feel composed and curated.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading and display serif with an upscale editorial character. Its proportions and serif treatment prioritize elegance and crisp typographic color while maintaining conventional letterforms for familiar, dependable setting.
The italic is not shown; the visible roman forms emphasize verticality and a clean, print-like finish. At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining detail, while at smaller sizes the contrast will read more dramatic than utilitarian.
