A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical axis. The forms combine sturdy vertical stems with sharp, fine serifs and tapered hairlines, creating crisp joins and sparkling highlights in the interior spaces. Proportions read generously across, with ample sidebearings and open counters that keep the texture airy even at larger sizes. Overall rhythm is steady and upright, with a traditional, carefully controlled finish across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, book covers, pull quotes, and refined posters where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also serve for short passages or feature text when ample size and spacing allow the hairlines and serifs to remain clear.
The typeface conveys a classic, cultured tone—polished and authoritative without feeling ornamental. Its contrast and sharp detailing evoke editorial sophistication and a literary sensibility, lending text a sense of ceremony and importance.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a traditional contrasted serif: prioritizing elegance, sharp serif detail, and a confident vertical structure for high-impact typography in cultural and editorial contexts.
In the sample text, the strong contrast produces a lively page color: vertical strokes anchor the line while hairlines and serifs add sparkle. Curved letters show clean, rounded bowls with fine entry/exit strokes, and the numerals share the same refined contrast and crisp finishing, supporting a consistent typographic voice.
