A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and confident, weighty main strokes. Serifs are tapered and finely bracketed, giving terminals a crisp, chiseled finish rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic in their stress, with narrow joins and clean counters that stay open even in tighter shapes. Capitals feel stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase combines sturdy stems with delicate entry/exit strokes for a lively, polished rhythm. Figures follow the same contrast model, reading clearly with elegant curves and refined detailing.
Well-suited to magazine and editorial layouts, book typography, and refined headlines where contrast and detail can shine. It also fits branding for luxury goods, arts institutions, and packaging that benefits from a classic, premium voice.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, projecting luxury and restraint. Its sharp contrast and poised detailing evoke fashion and cultural publishing, with a sense of tradition updated through clean, modern crispness.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary take on a conventional text serif: preserving classical proportions and calligraphic stress while emphasizing crisp, high-contrast elegance for editorial and brand-forward settings.
Spacing in the samples feels measured and even, supporting continuous reading at display-to-text sizes, while the thin horizontals and hairline serifs suggest best results where reproduction is clean. The italic is not shown; all observations are based on the upright forms displayed.
