A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and strong vertical stems, giving the letterforms a crisp, chiseled presence. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with pointed terminals and clean, decisive joins that keep the rhythm tight despite the delicate horizontals. Proportions feel generous in width, with open counters and a calm, upright stance; the capitals read stately while the lowercase maintains an even, bookish cadence. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and clear, with elegant curves and thin connecting strokes that reinforce the overall refined texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading—where its classic serif structure and open counters support clear word shapes. It also performs effectively in display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and luxury-leaning branding, where the high-contrast detailing can read as premium and cultivated.
The tone is polished and traditional, evoking classic publishing and upscale print design. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, while the steady upright construction keeps it authoritative rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text serif: elegant, high-contrast, and confident in traditional forms, while remaining crisp and legible in structured layouts. Its wide set and refined hairlines suggest a focus on polished editorial color and a distinctly upscale voice.
In continuous text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a shimmering, engraved texture that becomes more pronounced as sizes decrease or contrast increases. The design leans on crisp edges and tapered strokes, so spacing and line-height choices will strongly influence perceived darkness and smoothness on the page or screen.
