A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines, weighty verticals, and sharply tapered joins. Serifs are finely bracketed and often wedge-like, giving terminals a sculpted, chiseled finish rather than a blunt cut. The capitals feel tall and stately with crisp apexes (notably in A and V/W), while curves in C/G/O show strong contrast and controlled, slightly calligraphic modulation. Lowercase forms are compact and bookish, with a two-storey g and distinct, sturdy stems; numerals follow the same contrast pattern with narrow joins and delicate tops.
Works well for editorial typography—books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts—where its strong vertical rhythm and refined serifs support a traditional reading texture. It also suits display uses such as headlines, luxury branding, and formal announcements, especially where high contrast can add elegance and emphasis.
The overall tone is formal and polished, projecting a classic, literary confidence with a touch of fashion-like drama. Its crisp hairlines and sculpted serifs read as premium and cultivated, suited to settings that want tradition with visual sparkle.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with heightened contrast and finely finished details, balancing readability with a more luxurious, print-oriented sparkle. It aims for a composed text color while preserving enough sharpness in serifs and hairlines to feel distinctly upscale in larger sizes.
Stroke contrast is most pronounced in round letters, where hairline connections and thin horizontal elements become extremely delicate. Spacing appears measured and even in text, with a clear vertical rhythm driven by strong stems; the italics are not shown, and the style reads consistently upright throughout the samples.
