This serif presents sharp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, with hairline joins and crisp, tapered terminals. Capitals are relatively broad with sculpted curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and a stately, high-contrast rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy in the stems but finish in fine, delicate serifs; bowls and counters are rounded yet controlled, and the overall texture reads clean and slightly formal rather than rustic. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and narrow hairline connections.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and brand identities where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry a premium voice. It also fits book covers and section openers, pairing well with restrained sans serifs for supporting text.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, combining classical bookish authority with a fashion/editorial sheen. The dramatic contrast adds a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the disciplined construction keeps it composed and readable in display settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif interpretation pushed toward an editorial, display-forward expression, emphasizing contrast, crisp finishing, and stately proportions for sophisticated typographic hierarchy.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright. The design’s sparkle comes from the tight hairlines and sharp serif detail, which creates a lively, shimmering edge at larger sizes and a more assertive, inky rhythm in heavier strokes.
