A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, clean terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed and tapered, giving strokes a crisp, engraved feel while maintaining smooth curves in bowls and rounds. Proportions are relatively narrow and vertical, with lively rhythm from delicate hairlines and strong main stems; capitals feel stately and structured, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic movement in letters like a, e, g, and y. Numerals match the text tone with elegant contrast and compact, bookish proportions.
Well suited to editorial design such as magazine headings, pull quotes, and book cover typography where sharp contrast and refined serifs can shine. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and formal stationery that benefits from a classic, elevated voice.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, projecting editorial seriousness and a sense of luxury through its dramatic contrast and precise detailing. It reads as cultured and authoritative rather than casual, with a distinctly print-oriented elegance.
The design appears intended to evoke classic publishing and fashion-adjacent elegance, combining conventional serif construction with pronounced contrast for a more dramatic, high-end impression. It balances readability with a distinctive, polished texture that stands out in titling and editorial settings.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and sharp joins become a defining feature, creating a sparkling texture in paragraphs. In denser settings, the strong contrast and tapered serifs add visual hierarchy and a slightly dramatic, display-leaning presence without losing conventional text-serif structure.
