A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and heavier main strokes, showing a distinctly calligraphic, modelled construction. Serifs are sharp and mostly wedge-like with gentle bracketing, producing pointed terminals and a slightly chiseled finish. Capitals are stately and moderately wide with clear vertical stress, while lowercase forms keep a traditional, readable rhythm with rounded bowls and compact joins. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, with open counters and tapered finishing strokes that keep the set cohesive in text.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif texture is preferred, and it also scales effectively for magazine headlines and display lines that benefit from its sharp serifs and contrast. It can support refined brand wordmarks, packaging, and formal printed materials where a traditional, premium feel is appropriate.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, combining polish with a touch of dramatic contrast. It feels traditional and authoritative, suitable for environments where elegance and credibility are desired rather than a neutral, utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif voice with elevated contrast and crisp detailing—aiming for a cultured, print-forward character that remains readable while adding elegance and emphasis in both text and display sizes.
In running text the strong thick–thin modulation creates a lively sparkle, especially in combinations with many verticals and in the sharp diagonal letters (V, W, Y). The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a consistent upright style with carefully controlled spacing that supports paragraph setting.
