This serif typeface features extremely high stroke contrast with hairline horizontals and sturdy vertical stems, creating a crisp, polished texture on the page. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed, and the overall construction favors vertical stress and clean, tapered terminals. Proportions feel fairly classical with a balanced x-height and clearly articulated counters; capitals are stately and broad while lowercase maintains a smooth, even rhythm in text. Numerals echo the same contrast and formality, with delicate crossbars and pronounced thick–thin transitions.
Well suited to magazine typography, editorial layouts, and high-impact headlines where its contrast and sharp serifs can shine. It also fits book titling, pull quotes, and upscale branding applications that benefit from a refined, classic presence.
The tone is poised and luxurious, projecting a confident, editorial sophistication. Its high contrast and precise detailing communicate formality and a fashion-forward sensibility, while still retaining a traditional bookish seriousness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-contrast serif voice for contemporary publishing and premium display use, prioritizing elegance, clarity of form, and a distinctive thick–thin rhythm.
At larger sizes the hairline details and pointed serifs read as particularly sharp and premium, while in smaller settings the contrast becomes the defining visual signature. The italic is not shown; the displayed style reads as strictly upright throughout.
