This serif typeface features very strong thick–thin modulation with hairline horizontals and finely tapered joins, creating a crisp, polished texture. Serifs are delicate and bracketed, with pointed terminals and a slightly calligraphic stress that shows through in the curves. Proportions feel traditional with moderate x-height, narrow apertures in places, and an overall vertical stance; the caps are elegant and stately, while the lowercase maintains a composed rhythm with pronounced contrast and clean, sharp details. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, producing a bright, formal typographic color at text and display sizes.
Well suited to magazine layouts, headlines, and pull quotes where high contrast can add drama and hierarchy. It can also serve luxury branding and packaging, and works effectively for book covers and front-matter typography when a classic, elevated serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward, high-end sheen. Its dramatic contrast and fine finishing cues suggest refinement and ceremony, lending text a sense of prestige and intentionality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif structure with heightened contrast and meticulous detailing, balancing traditional proportions with a more glamorous, attention-getting finish for contemporary editorial and brand applications.
At smaller sizes the hairlines and fine serifs may visually lighten, while at larger sizes the stroke contrast becomes a defining feature. Round letters show smooth, controlled curves, and diagonals in forms like V/W/X read crisp and formal, reinforcing a premium, print-oriented feel.
