This serif typeface features strong thick–thin modulation with a vertical axis and sharply tapered, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, with clean, pointed apexes in A and V/W and a compact, controlled rhythm across the set. Lowercase forms are smooth and open, with a two-storey a, a double-storey g, and a relatively narrow, calligraphic-style f that adds sparkle in text. Numerals align with the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy stems with fine hairlines and crisp terminals for a polished, print-like color.
It suits magazine and newspaper features, book jackets, and refined headline systems where high-contrast serif detail is desirable. It also works well for luxury-oriented identity touchpoints—such as packaging, invitations, and certificates—where a classic, premium voice is needed.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its crisp hairlines and sculpted serifs convey a sense of tradition and authority while still feeling contemporary and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and editorial serifs: poised proportions, crisp serifs, and a bright typographic color optimized for elegant reading and striking titles.
In the text sample, the face reads cleanly at display and larger text sizes, where its contrast and fine detailing are most apparent. The design balances sharpness with subtle bracketing, avoiding slabby heaviness and keeping the page color bright and refined.
