A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are bracketed and sharply cut, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel, while curves show a predominantly vertical stress. Capitals are relatively wide with generous spacing and clean, flat terminals on forms like E and F; the overall rhythm is steady and formal. The lowercase combines compact, sturdy stems with delicate hairlines, producing a distinctly high-contrast texture that becomes more shimmering as size decreases. Numerals follow the same model, with elegant curves and slim connecting strokes, lending a traditional, typographic color to mixed text and figures.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine headlines, and book titles where high contrast can add sparkle and hierarchy. It also fits premium brand identities, packaging, and formal collateral such as invitations or certificates, especially when set with ample tracking and generous leading.
The tone is poised and cultured, evoking book typography and high-end publishing. Its sharp hairlines and polished contrast read as sophisticated and slightly dramatic, suitable for content that wants authority without heaviness.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text/display serif: traditional construction, refined detailing, and a formal rhythm aimed at producing an elegant page color and strong typographic hierarchy.
At larger sizes the hairline serifs and fine cross-strokes look especially crisp and decorative; in smaller settings they will require sufficient size and reproduction quality to maintain clarity. The overall proportions lean toward dignified, classical forms rather than geometric or quirky details.
