A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. The letterforms are wide-set with generous internal counters, giving a spacious rhythm, while stems remain firmly vertical for a composed, upright feel. Serifs are sharp and refined rather than heavy, and curves show a smooth, slightly calligraphic flow that’s especially apparent in round letters and the numerals. The lowercase has a relatively low x-height, making ascenders and capitals feel prominent and lending the text a stately silhouette in longer lines.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and other editorial display uses where contrast and wide proportions can be appreciated. It can work for short to medium text in print-oriented layouts, particularly in high-quality settings, but will shine most in larger sizes for magazine, book cover, poster, and premium branding applications.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical—an old-world, editorial elegance with a touch of display drama. It reads as confident and ceremonial, suited to contexts that want sophistication and a sense of tradition rather than neutrality.
This design appears intended to deliver a refined, fashion-forward interpretation of classic high-contrast serif forms, prioritizing elegance, spacious proportions, and a dramatic thick–thin rhythm for impactful typography.
In the sample text, the broad proportions and strong contrast create striking word shapes, but the fine hairlines and sharp joins suggest it will look best when given enough size and breathing room. The numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, reinforcing a consistent, refined texture across mixed text settings.
