A classic serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and teardrop-like finishes, giving the letters a lively, calligraphic edge while keeping overall construction disciplined. Capitals are tall and stately with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and clean, vertical stress; the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact bowls and clear, open counters. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with fine hairlines for a polished, print-oriented rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a refined serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and brand marks that benefit from high-contrast elegance and a traditional yet lively serif profile.
The tone is polished and cultivated, leaning toward luxury and editorial sophistication. Its sharp, tapered details and poised contrast read as confident and traditional, with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward sparkle in display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif foundation with elevated contrast and sharper finishing details for a more premium, contemporary editorial feel. It aims to stay familiar in structure while adding a distinctive sparkle through tapered terminals and careful modulation.
The design balances classic book-serif proportions with more pointed, energetic terminals, which adds character without turning ornamental. Spacing in the sample text looks even and composed, supporting smooth word shapes and a steady reading flow, while the high-contrast hairlines give headlines an especially crisp presence.
