A high-contrast serif with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, vertical stress, and crisp hairline detailing. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, and curves transition into stems with clean, decisive joins. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with balanced capitals and a moderate x-height; counters are open and the spacing reads even in text. Numerals and punctuation follow the same stark contrast and refined, cut-like finishing, giving the overall texture a polished, print-oriented sheen.
Best suited to display and editorial roles such as magazine headlines, book or chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined brand identities. It can work in short text passages when printed or rendered large enough to preserve the thin strokes, where its contrast becomes a feature rather than a liability.
The tone is elegant and authoritative, leaning toward classic publishing and luxury branding. Its dramatic contrast and razor-thin details add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, while the upright construction keeps it composed and formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif voice: high contrast, crisp finishing, and a composed upright stance that signals prestige and clarity. It prioritizes sharp elegance and strong typographic color for impactful setting.
The face creates a strong “black-and-white” texture: heavy verticals dominate while hairline serifs and thin strokes stay extremely delicate. This makes it visually striking at larger sizes, where the fine terminals and internal shapes are most clearly appreciated.
