A refined serif with strong thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, bracketed wedge serifs. Curves are taut and high-contrast with narrow joins, giving bowls and counters a clean, sculpted look, while verticals read as dominant and steady. Capitals are tall and stately with pointed terminals on letters like A and W, and a crisp, slightly calligraphic stress shows through in shapes such as S, C, and the numerals. Lowercase is compact and disciplined, with a two-storey a, a distinctive ear on g, and a long descender on j that adds vertical rhythm.
This face performs best in editorial settings such as magazine headlines, book covers, and section openers where high contrast can read as intentional refinement. It also suits premium branding and formal collateral like invitations or certificates, especially when set at moderate to large sizes to preserve hairline clarity.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking editorial seriousness and literary authority. Its dramatic contrast and precise finishing give it a sense of luxury and formality, suited to high-end print aesthetics rather than casual or utilitarian contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography: authoritative proportions, crisp finishing, and a luxurious editorial voice. It prioritizes elegance and impact through strong vertical emphasis and carefully shaped serifs and terminals.
In text, the color is distinctly contrast-driven: hairlines become prominent at larger sizes and the silhouette feels crisp and bright against the page. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and sharp terminals that feel consistent with the capitals.
