A sharp, high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and decisive vertical stress. The serifs are fine and clean, often slightly bracketed, giving the shapes a crisp, engraved feel without becoming brittle. Capitals are tall and poised with ample internal space (notably in C, G, O), while lowercase forms keep a steady, readable rhythm with compact, well-controlled joins and narrow apertures in letters like e and s. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy stems with hairline terminals for a polished, formal texture in running text.
Well suited to editorial design, magazines, and book typography where a polished, classical voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in branding and display settings—titles, pull quotes, and refined packaging—where its contrast and hairline detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is sophisticated and composed, leaning toward classic book and fashion-editorial refinement. Its bright, razor-edged contrast and delicate finishing details convey luxury and formality, while the restrained, conventional construction keeps it credible for serious reading environments.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional, high-contrast serif model for contemporary editorial and branding use, balancing crisp elegance with conventional letterforms for dependable readability. It aims to deliver a premium, authoritative impression while keeping a consistent text rhythm across letters and numerals.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation creates a lively shimmer and clear hierarchy, especially at larger sizes. The italics are not shown; the displayed style reads as a straight, formal roman with consistent, disciplined spacing and a slightly stately stance.
