A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and strong, dark vertical stems. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a generally bracketed feel, and terminals tend toward pointed or beaked endings that add bite to the rhythm. The proportions lean refined and text-oriented: moderate x-height, clear counters, and a steady baseline with disciplined spacing that keeps dense settings readable. Numerals and capitals show a poised, display-like elegance while maintaining the conventional structure expected of a book serif.
This style performs best in editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, as well as book covers and premium branding where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also work for short-form text in print or high-resolution digital settings, especially when paired with generous leading and careful tracking.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its sharp contrast and clean finishing details give it a premium, fashion-and-culture flavor, while the traditional skeleton keeps it grounded and credible. The texture on the page feels formal and composed, with a touch of drama in large sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast interpretation of the classic text serif: familiar letterforms for readability, paired with sharpened serifs and dramatic stroke modulation for a more luxurious, attention-grabbing voice.
In the sample text, the dense black-and-white modulation creates a lively page color: thick strokes anchor the line while hairlines and serifs add sparkle. Round letters show a noticeable vertical stress, and several lowercase forms feature slightly calligraphic, beaked details that lend personality without becoming ornamental.
