A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and strong vertical stems, set with crisp, bracketed serifs and a clean, upright stance. Capitals are stately and evenly paced, with broad bowls and restrained stroke modulation; the round letters (C, O, Q) read open and polished. Lowercase shows a traditional text-seriffed structure with compact joins, two-storey a, and a slightly calligraphic impulse in details like the ear and terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with elegant curves and fine horizontals that reinforce an overall sharp, print-oriented texture.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes—where its contrast and sharp serifs can add sophistication. It also performs strongly in titles and headings for cultural, fashion, or luxury branding, and for formal stationery where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The tone is classic and editorial, suggesting authority, tradition, and careful craft. Its high-contrast rhythm feels refined and literary rather than casual, with a poised formality that suits premium contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional text-serif feel with elevated contrast and a polished, contemporary finish. It aims for a familiar reading structure while adding visual finesse through hairline details and disciplined proportions.
At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and small internal details become a defining feature, creating a bright, high-end sparkle across headlines. The design maintains a consistent, conventional serif vocabulary, with clear differentiation between characters and a composed, steady baseline.
