A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, sharp hairlines, and sturdy vertical stems. Serifs are bracketed and neatly tapered, giving terminals a crisp, carved finish without feeling abrupt. Proportions lean slightly condensed in some capitals while round letters stay generously open; curves show clear vertical stress and controlled, smooth transitions into joins. The overall rhythm is even and disciplined, with clean counters and a precise baseline presence that reads confidently at display and text sizes.
Well suited to editorial systems—book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine layouts—where a high-contrast serif can add sophistication while maintaining a steady reading rhythm. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and refined collateral such as invitations or certificates where the sharp hairlines and bracketed serifs can be showcased.
The tone is elegant and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that evokes book typography and heritage publishing. Its crisp hairlines and sculpted serifs add a polished, upscale feel suited to formal communication and cultivated branding.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on classic high-contrast text serifs: formal, readable, and visually elevated, with careful serif shaping and controlled contrast to deliver an authoritative, polished voice.
Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with slender diagonals and refined terminals that keep figures lively but orderly. The italic is not shown; all samples appear consistently upright and measured, emphasizing clarity and formality over expressionistic movement.
