A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a bright, elegant page color. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp terminals and a distinctly drawn italic-free, upright structure. Uppercase proportions feel slightly wide and stately, while lowercase counters stay open with a moderate x-height and pronounced stroke modulation. Numerals follow the same contrasty, old-style sensibility, with curves and joins that read as carefully modeled rather than geometric.
Well suited to editorial design, magazine layouts, and book covers where high contrast and refined detailing are desirable. It can work for short passages or captions in generous sizes and comfortable leading, and it shines in display roles such as pull quotes, headlines, and formal branding applications that benefit from a classic serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking book typography and classic publishing. Its dramatic contrast and finely cut details add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, lending authority to headings and a cultured, literary voice to text.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with elevated contrast and a more fashion/editorial finish. It emphasizes sharpness, delicacy, and typographic polish, aiming for authoritative readability while providing a dramatic, refined presence in larger settings.
In the sample setting, the type’s thin strokes and tight interior details become more prominent at larger sizes, where the sharp serifs and sculpted curves read cleanly. The rhythm is driven by strong verticals and delicate horizontals, giving it an elegant, slightly formal cadence.
