A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline serifs. The letterforms are upright with a relatively wide set and clear vertical emphasis, pairing sturdy main stems with fine connecting strokes. Serifs are mostly bracketed and taper to delicate points, and several curves finish with small ball terminals, giving the design a slightly engraved, dressy finish. Overall rhythm is formal and controlled, with crisp joins and clean counters that stay open at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where the contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It also fits luxury-leaning branding, packaging, and book or magazine covers that benefit from a classic, high-end voice. For extended reading, it will perform most comfortably at sizes and print conditions that preserve the thin strokes.
The tone is refined and editorial, combining traditional bookish authority with a polished, fashion-forward edge. Its strong contrast and sharp detailing read as premium and composed rather than casual, projecting confidence and sophistication in headings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast serif: authoritative and readable in structure, but with enough finesse in the hairlines and terminals to feel elevated and modern for display use.
In text settings the thin hairlines become a defining feature, producing a bright, high-contrast texture that favors careful size and spacing choices. The numerals and capitals feel particularly emphatic, with a stately presence and clear, classical proportions.
