A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and strong vertical stress, pairing robust main stems with very fine connecting strokes. Serifs are crisp and mostly bracketed, with tapered, calligraphic terminals that give the forms a sculpted feel rather than purely mechanical geometry. Proportions read as traditional and bookish, with compact lowercase shapes, clear two-storey a and g, and an overall even rhythm in text despite the dramatic stroke contrast. Numerals and capitals show confident, slightly varying widths and pronounced thick–thin modulation, producing a refined page color at display sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and book-cover titles where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also support upscale branding, packaging, and invitations that call for a classic serif voice with a modern, fashion-leaning finish.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a sense of tradition and authority with a distinctly stylish, editorial edge. Its sharp hairlines and elegant curves suggest sophistication and formality, suitable for settings where a premium, cultivated voice is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation elevated by dramatic contrast and finely cut details, balancing readability with a distinctly premium, display-ready presence. Its forms aim to communicate tradition and seriousness while adding a refined, contemporary crispness.
In longer text, the high contrast and delicate hairlines create a bright, sparkling texture that benefits from adequate size and printing/screen conditions that preserve thin strokes. The italic-like energy in certain terminals and the pronounced stress help headings and pull quotes feel expressive without becoming decorative.
