A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, sturdy vertical stems, and bracketed wedge-like serifs that give forms a crisp, engraved rhythm. Curves show a clear calligraphic stress, with thin joins and pointed transitions that heighten the sparkle in text. Capitals are proportionally stately with generous counters, while lowercase maintains a traditional book-face structure with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a “g” that finishes with a pronounced ear. Numerals follow the same contrast model, mixing fine horizontals with heavier verticals for a poised, formal texture.
Well suited to editorial design and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired, and it can also elevate magazine layouts, cultural programs, and formal stationery. The strong contrast and crisp serifs make it particularly effective for display sizes—headlines, pull quotes, and title pages—where its fine detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, suggesting editorial authority and a sense of ceremony. Its sharp contrast and clean finishing details add a sophisticated, fashion-forward edge without losing a classical foundation.
The design appears intended as a refined, contemporary take on a classic text serif, balancing traditional proportions with high-contrast sparkle and precise detailing for an upscale editorial feel.
In the text sample, the type builds a lively black-and-white texture: thin strokes recede while strong verticals hold the line, creating a bright, articulate page color. Details like the ball terminal on “y” and the distinctive “Q” tail contribute personality while staying within a conventional serif voice.
