A high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and tapered, slightly bracketed serifs that read as crisp and precise. The construction feels calligraphically informed: curves swell into thick verticals and pinch into fine terminals, creating a polished, sculpted rhythm. Capitals are stately and wide-set, with refined bowls and carefully controlled joins, while lowercase shows compact, text-ready proportions and clear counters. Numerals follow the same dramatic thick–thin logic, with delicate entry strokes and confident vertical stress.
Well suited to magazine and editorial settings where contrast and refinement are assets, particularly for headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes. It can also support book typography and formal collateral when set with comfortable leading, and it pairs naturally with premium branding applications that benefit from a polished, high-end voice.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a poised, editorial presence. Its sharp hairlines and graceful modulation evoke sophistication and a sense of premium craft, lending an air of formality without feeling ornamental or playful.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on classical high-contrast serifs: crisp hairlines, strong vertical emphasis, and a controlled, elegant texture that performs in both display and carefully set text.
The italic influence is subtle but present in the way certain terminals and diagonals taper, giving the roman a lively, engraved-like sparkle at display sizes. The letterforms maintain a consistent vertical stress and disciplined spacing, helping long lines of text look orderly while still feeling expressive.
