This serif shows crisp, sculpted letterforms with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline serifs. Curves are smoothly drawn with a slightly calligraphic, diagonal stress, while terminals often finish in sharp, tapered points. The capitals feel stately and open, with generous spacing and strong vertical presence; the lowercase is sturdy and readable, with compact bowls and clean joins. Overall rhythm is lively due to the high-contrast strokes and subtly varied character widths, creating an elegant, editorial texture in text.
Well-suited to magazine and editorial systems where contrast and refinement are desired, and for book typography that benefits from a classic serif texture. It also performs effectively in display sizes for headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated brand wordmarks where sharp detailing can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and authoritative, combining classic bookish refinement with a touch of theatrical contrast. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast strokes give it a confident, upscale voice that reads as traditional, cultured, and slightly dramatic.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary interpretation of classic text serifs: maintaining familiar, readable structures while emphasizing crispness and contrast for a more elevated, high-end feel in both text and display settings.
Distinctive details include a two-storey “g” with a prominent ear, a compact, traditional two-storey “a,” and numerals that mix sturdy stems with fine hairline curves. The forms stay disciplined and conventional, but the sharpness of the serifs and the contrast give headlines a noticeable sparkle.
