A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and crisp, finely bracketed serifs. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, with a clean, upright stance and clear vertical stress, while the lowercase balances rounded bowls with taut joins and tapered terminals. Details like the angled legs and arms, compact joins, and delicate crossbars create a refined rhythm; numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with a particularly bold presence in the rounded figures.
Best suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined book titling where high contrast can shine. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially in larger sizes or with generous spacing to preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, projecting sophistication and authority. Its glossy contrast and delicate finishing give it a fashion/editorial flavor while still reading as bookish and established.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic, high-end serif voice with contemporary crispness—optimized to look dramatic and cultivated in headings and prominent text settings.
The ampersand is ornate and prominent, leaning toward a display-like flourish compared with the restrained letterforms. Curves and entry/exit strokes are consistently tapered, producing a bright, sparkling texture at larger sizes.
