A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and prominent thick-to-thin modulation, producing crisp, sculpted letterforms. Serifs are fine and sharp, often with subtly flared, tapering joins that soften the transition into terminals without becoming slabby. Capitals feel stately and balanced with generous inner counters (notably in O, Q, and G), while the lowercase shows long ascenders and a slightly calligraphic rhythm from the varying stroke stress. Numerals match the text tone, mixing strong verticals with thin connecting strokes and pointed finishing details.
It suits editorial design where a refined, high-end voice is needed—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and premium layouts. It also works well for book covers, cultural posters, and elegant branding applications where the high contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, leaning toward luxury and literary sophistication. Its sharp details and glossy contrast give it a fashionable, magazine-like presence while still reading as a timeless bookish serif.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, luxury-leaning serif with classic proportions and dramatic contrast, using subtle flaring and keen terminals to add sophistication without decorative excess. It prioritizes a polished page color and strong display impact while maintaining a traditional reading rhythm.
At text sizes the thin hairlines and needle-like serifs create a shimmering texture, and the type gains authority as it scales up into display. The italic is not shown; the visible roman relies on contrast and terminal shaping for personality rather than overt ornament.
