A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and pronounced thick–thin transitions, set on a relatively wide, open stance. Serifs are fine and sharp with a lightly bracketed feel, giving strokes a carved, calligraphic finish rather than a blunt terminal. Curves are smooth and full, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm reads steady and bookish while still feeling display-capable at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals carry a stately, editorial presence, with a consistent, polished stroke logic across the set.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where contrast and sophistication are desired. It can also work for book or long-form settings when sizes and printing/screen conditions preserve the fine hairlines, with particularly strong results in headings, titling, and prominent typographic moments.
The tone is refined and formal, evoking classic publishing and fashion-led editorial typography. Its sharpness and contrast add a sense of luxury and authority, while the wide proportions keep it composed and readable rather than overly condensed or ornamental.
Designed to deliver a classic, publication-ready serif voice with a premium, high-contrast finish. The wide stance and clean, conventional structures suggest an intention to balance elegance with legibility for editorial and brand applications.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and delicate serifs become a defining feature, producing a crisp, high-end look that benefits from adequate size and clean reproduction. The letterforms maintain a conventional, familiar structure, prioritizing clarity and traditional typographic color over eccentric quirks.
