A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and assertive thick strokes, shaped by a calligraphic, slightly diagonal stress. Serifs are sharply cut and often bracketed, with stems that subtly flare into terminals, creating a sculpted, chiseled feel at stroke endings. Curves are clean and taut, with pronounced thick–thin transitions in rounds like O and C, and pointed, knife-like details in V/W/X. Proportions favor elegant capitals and open counters, while lowercase forms keep a measured, bookish rhythm with a moderate x-height and delicate joins.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, book covers, and premium branding where high contrast and crisp detail can be appreciated. It can work in short-to-medium text passages when set generously (size, leading, and print quality), but its delicate hairlines suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution environments.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, balancing classic book typography with a fashion/editorial edge. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details read as luxurious and authoritative, lending a sense of ceremony and sophistication to headings and display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice: classic structure and readable proportions enhanced with flared, sharply finished terminals and heightened contrast for visual impact. It aims to project sophistication and clarity while providing enough distinctive detailing to stand out in editorial and brand-led typography.
The numerals mirror the same contrast-driven construction, with slender hairline segments and bold main strokes that feel tailored to display sizes. The texture in paragraph samples is lively and slightly sparkling due to the fine hairlines and pointed serifs, which increases perceived sharpness and refinement.
