A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and a largely vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharp, reading as hairline terminals rather than heavy brackets, with crisp joins and clean, tapered ends. Proportions feel slightly expanded with generous spacing and a steady, even rhythm in text, while the lowercase shows a relatively short x-height and tall ascenders/descenders that add elegance. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and controlled, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are brisk and pointed, keeping the overall texture bright and refined.
Best suited to display and larger text settings such as editorial headlines, book covers, pull quotes, and refined branding where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short-form text in print-like contexts, especially when ample size and leading preserve the delicate hairlines.
The tone is traditional and polished, evoking bookish, editorial seriousness with a touch of luxury. Its contrast and delicate details suggest a composed, cultured voice suited to sophisticated typography rather than utilitarian UI.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classical, high-contrast serif voice with crisp hairlines and an expanded, stately presence. It emphasizes elegance and typographic authority, aiming for a polished page texture and strong capital-led typography.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and sharp serifs create a sparkling page color at larger sizes, while the short x-height and narrow interior counters in some letters can make long passages feel more formal than casual. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with elegant curves and tapered terminals that match the capitals.
