A high-contrast serif with sharply tapering hairlines, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a mostly vertical axis with calligraphic stress and tight, disciplined curves, giving counters a clean, sculpted look. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow with generous vertical presence, while the lowercase uses compact joins and distinct terminals (including ball-like dots and teardrop finishes) that add sparkle without turning ornamental. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast-driven rhythm, reading cleanly at display sizes with a refined, engraved feel.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also works well for fashion and beauty identities, premium packaging, book covers, and refined wordmarks that benefit from a classic-yet-current serif presence.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, projecting an editorial, high-end sensibility associated with magazines, luxury branding, and classical publishing. Its crisp contrast and sharp terminals create a sense of formality and poise, while the lively terminals and strong verticality keep it energetic and contemporary rather than purely historical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast book and editorial serif: authoritative proportions, elegant modulation, and sharply defined serifs optimized for sophisticated display and premium typography.
In text settings the strong contrast creates a vivid texture: dark vertical strokes anchor the line while hairlines and serifs add a fine, bright edge. The face feels most confident when given room—larger sizes, comfortable leading, and solid color reproduction—so its delicate details remain clear.
