This serif shows strong thick–thin modulation with crisp hairlines, bracketed serifs, and a relatively vertical axis overall. Capitals feel stately and carefully proportioned, with tapered joins and clean, sharp terminals that keep counters open despite the contrast. The lowercase maintains a steady rhythm and a moderate x-height, with distinctive, slightly calligraphic details such as a two-storey “g” and prominent ball/teardrop terminals on several forms. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, old-style influenced drawing, with narrow joins and clear, print-oriented shapes.
It performs well in editorial contexts—magazine headlines, section titles, pull quotes, and book typography—where its contrast and crisp serifs can add sophistication. It can also support brand wordmarks and packaging that benefit from a classic, premium serif voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is refined and editorial, projecting a traditional, bookish authority. Its high-contrast sparkle and sculpted serif work give it a fashionable, formal voice suited to premium typography rather than utilitarian interface use.
The design intent appears to be a contemporary take on a classic text serif: maintain familiar, readable proportions while emphasizing contrast, sharp finishing, and elegant detailing for strong editorial presence.
In text, the hairlines and fine serifs create a bright, textured page color; the weight concentrates in vertical stems while thin horizontals and diagonals add snap. The design reads as conventional and familiar at a glance, but with enough sharpness and terminal detailing to feel elevated for display settings.
