A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress, pairing strong main strokes with very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, reading as crisp terminals rather than heavy feet. Proportions are tall and relatively narrow in the capitals, while the lowercase is compact with a notably low x-height, giving generous space for ascenders and a distinctly bookish rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, and counters stay open despite the contrast, producing a clean, airy color at larger sizes.
This style performs especially well for editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and other display-led settings where contrast can be showcased. It also fits luxury branding and formal materials such as invitations and cultural programs, particularly when set with comfortable tracking and ample whitespace.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, with an old-world elegance that feels suited to luxury and literary contexts. Its sharp, high-contrast detailing suggests sophistication and precision rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to evoke classical, print-era refinement through strong contrast, vertical stress, and precise serif finishing, aiming for an elevated presence in display and headline typography.
At text sizes the hairline joins and thin serifs become a key part of the personality, so the face reads most confidently when given enough size and print-like rendering. The numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and feel suited to display settings where their fine details can remain intact.
