A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong vertical stems, producing a crisp, print-like rhythm. Serifs are finely tapered and largely bracketed, with pointed, calligraphic terminals that add sparkle without feeling ornate. The proportions are balanced and conventional, with a moderate x-height and relatively compact lowercase, while capitals feel statuesque and slightly wide-set. Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins stay clean, giving the alphabet a polished, editorial texture in both display sizes and continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and headline systems where high contrast can shine. It also fits book covers, luxury branding, invitations, and premium packaging, especially when paired with a restrained sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is elegant and cultured, leaning toward fashion and magazine sophistication rather than casual warmth. Its sharp contrast and delicate details convey a sense of prestige and formality, with a classic, bookish authority that still feels contemporary when set large.
The design appears intended as a modernized classic text serif that emphasizes contrast, clarity, and elegance for refined publishing and branding contexts, delivering a confident, polished voice across display and reading sizes.
The figures and capitals show especially pronounced thick–thin modulation, so the design reads best when given adequate size and spacing. The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a consistent upright voice across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
