A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and crisp, finely cut hairlines. Serifs are thin and sharp, with minimal bracketing, creating a clean, engraved feel at text sizes. Curves show pronounced thick-to-thin transitions and tight apertures, while capitals read tall and stately with wide, open counters in letters like C, G, and O. Lowercase forms are compact and traditional, with a two-storey a and g and a sturdy, bracketless-looking rhythm that stays consistent across the alphabet and figures.
Well-suited for magazine layouts, book and journal typography, and display settings where contrast and elegance are desirable. It also fits formal applications such as invitations and refined branding, particularly when used in larger sizes or with generous spacing for maximum clarity.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, leaning toward classic book typography and luxury editorial styling. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing give it a poised, high-end presence that feels cultured rather than playful.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke traditional, high-contrast serif printing with a modern, clean precision. The intention is a refined text-and-display serif that delivers strong editorial authority and a luxurious, classical voice.
The design relies on very fine hairlines and small details (including thin crossbars and delicate serifs), which suggests it will look most confident when reproduction quality is good and sizes are not extremely small. Numerals match the letterforms’ contrast and formality, maintaining the same sharp, classical character.
