A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and weighty stems, showing crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly sculpted, with a lively modulation that gives letters a polished, engraved-like finish. Proportions lean toward a dignified, display-friendly rhythm, while the lowercase maintains a conventional structure with clear counters and a steady baseline presence.
Works best for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits magazine mastheads, book covers, and high-end branding applications that benefit from a classic, editorial voice.
The tone is formal and editorial, projecting sophistication and authority with a touch of drama from the extreme stroke contrast. It feels suited to classic publishing aesthetics—confident, literary, and premium—without becoming ornamental or overly quaint.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and carefully cut details, delivering an elegant, attention-getting texture for contemporary editorial and branding use.
The numerals and capitals read particularly strong at larger sizes, where the thin strokes and delicate joins stay expressive. In text settings, the contrast and pointed details create a pronounced sparkle, making typographic color feel crisp rather than dense.
