This is a high-contrast serif with crisp hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin transitions that read as vertical-stress forms. Stems are sturdy and straight, while curves thin quickly into tapered terminals, giving counters a sculpted, luminous quality. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with pointed, slightly calligraphic finishing on several joins and diagonals. Proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow in the capitals, with clear modulation and a disciplined rhythm across text and numerals.
It performs especially well for editorial typography such as magazines, book covers, and display sizes where the contrast and fine serifs can shine. It also suits premium branding, headings, pull quotes, and formal printed pieces like invitations, where a classic, cultivated serif voice is desirable.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a sense of tradition and authority. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing lend a fashionable, high-end editorial character, suitable for settings where sophistication and clarity are prioritized over ruggedness.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-and-display serif with heightened contrast for elegance and impact. It balances traditional proportions with sharp, modern finishing to deliver a refined reading experience and strong headline presence.
In continuous text, the contrast creates a lively sparkle and a pronounced typographic color that becomes more dramatic as sizes increase. Diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) are clean and taut, and the numerals share the same refined modulation, reinforcing a consistent, formal voice.
