A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. Serifs are fine and sharp with a generally bracketed feel, and many strokes end in tapered, wedge-like terminals that emphasize a chiseled, calligraphic finish. Proportions lean tall and statuesque, with narrow joins and open apertures that keep the texture airy at display sizes. The uppercase shows classic Roman construction, while the lowercase combines compact bowls and long, clean ascenders/descenders for a poised rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine covers, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes and good rendering conditions, especially in print or high-resolution digital layouts.
The overall tone is polished and contemporary-classical, projecting luxury, restraint, and editorial sophistication. Its sharp detailing and bright contrast give it a dramatic, premium feel suited to high-end presentation rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern editorial serif with classic roots, prioritizing elegance, contrast-driven drama, and a confident, luxury-forward presence in display typography.
The typeface creates a sparkling page color: heavy verticals read as anchors while hairlines and serifs create a delicate, incisive edge. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and appear designed to harmonize with headline typography.
