A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a crisp, engraved-like rhythm. Serifs are finely bracketed and tapered, with pointed terminals on several diagonals and a controlled, upright construction. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, while the lowercase combines compact bowls with elegant joins and distinctly thin cross-strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast and delicacy, reading best at display sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where high contrast can shine. It also fits book covers, cultural branding, and formal stationery, especially when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve the hairline detail.
The tone is polished and editorial, with a classic, bookish sophistication that evokes traditional publishing and luxury communication. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions give it a formal, composed voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic text-serifs, prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a refined reading texture for premium editorial and branding contexts.
Spacing in the samples reads generous, supporting an airy texture that reinforces the font’s refinement. The shapes show consistent contrast logic across letters and figures, with an emphasis on clean curves and sharp apexes that produces a bright, elegant page color at larger settings.
