A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and full, dark main strokes, giving letters a sculpted, glossy silhouette. Serifs are fine and elegant, often with subtle bracketing and pointed terminals that keep the rhythm crisp at display sizes. Proportions feel open and slightly expansive, with rounded forms (C, O) showing strong thick–thin modulation and a smooth, controlled curve tension. Lowercase shows a traditional build with a two-storey a and g, a compact shoulder on r, and a curved, left-hooking descender on j; figures include oldstyle-like forms with pronounced contrast and lively curves.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine titles, editorial headlines, posters, and brand marks where contrast and refinement are an advantage. It can work for short text in larger sizes, especially when generous spacing and high-quality reproduction preserve the fine hairlines.
The tone is polished and editorial, balancing classical bookish cues with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its bright hairlines and emphatic verticals create a dramatic, luxurious impression suited to high-end branding and headline settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice: dramatic contrast, crisp finishing, and confident proportions that read as premium and contemporary while remaining grounded in traditional serif construction.
In the sample text, the weight distribution produces striking word shapes, with punctuation and small details reading as delicate accents against strong stems. The ampersand is bold and ornate in presence compared to surrounding letters, reinforcing a decorative, headline-oriented character.
