A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a crisp, carved rhythm. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered terminals and a distinctly calligraphic modulation through curves and joins. Proportions feel on the wider side in capitals and round forms, while spacing remains open enough for text setting. Lowercase shows traditional, book-oriented shapes with a moderate x-height, clear ascenders/descenders, and lively stroke transitions that read sharply at display sizes.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book and journal titling, pull quotes, and refined branding where contrast and elegance are an asset. It can work for longer-form text in comfortable sizes and good printing/screen conditions, especially where a classic editorial texture is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a composed, traditional voice that also carries a touch of drama from the extreme contrast. It suggests editorial authority and luxury branding rather than casual or utilitarian UI typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on conventional text serifs with pronounced contrast, prioritizing elegance and typographic color for editorial and brand-forward settings. It balances classic proportions with sharp detailing to create a distinctive, premium reading voice.
Round letters (C, O, Q) emphasize smooth, near-circular bowls with delicate connections, and the numerals mirror the same contrast and serif finesse. The sample text highlights strong word shapes and elegant rhythm, though the finest hairlines visually dominate the personality and may require sufficient size and output quality to stay crisp.
