A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis, crisp hairline serifs, and pronounced thick–thin transitions. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with sharp, clean finishing strokes and controlled curves (notably in C, G, and S). Lowercase forms show a relatively tall x-height and compact apertures, with teardrop/ball-like terminals appearing on several glyphs and a single-storey g. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy stems with fine hairlines for a polished, display-leaning texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and fine details can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes, but the hairlines suggest it will shine most in print-like, high-resolution contexts and in branding that aims for a classic, upscale voice.
The overall tone is elegant and traditional, evoking bookish sophistication and a composed, high-end editorial feel. Its sharp contrasts and refined detailing convey authority and formality rather than casualness.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a tall lowercase presence for modern editorial layouts, balancing traditional letterforms with crisp, contemporary finishing. The emphasis is on elegance and impact rather than ruggedness or utilitarian text durability.
In text settings the rhythm is crisp and slightly theatrical due to the contrast and delicate hairlines, making spacing and line length feel important for maintaining even color. The ampersand is bold and decorative, and the italic is not shown here; the presented style reads as a Roman upright.
