A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharp with a lightly bracketed feel, giving the strokes clean entry and exit points without looking slabby. Uppercase forms read tall and poised with crisp horizontals and tapered terminals, while the lowercase shows compact, text-ready proportions with clear counters and a two-storey “g” and “a”-like, transitional construction. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and crisp finishing, producing a refined, display-leaning texture at larger sizes.
Well suited to editorial layouts where contrast and refinement are desired—magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and book or report titling. It also fits luxury-leaning branding and packaging applications that benefit from crisp serifs and a sophisticated, high-fashion voice.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, with a modern editorial sheen that still nods to classical book typography. Its sharp hairlines and confident verticality convey sophistication, formality, and a sense of luxury.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast for visual drama, balancing traditional letter structure with sharper, more contemporary finishing. It aims to provide an authoritative, premium texture that stands out in display settings while remaining composed in short text passages.
In continuous text, the strong contrast creates a lively rhythm with bright highlights in the hairlines and dense vertical stems, which can feel especially crisp in headlines and pull quotes. Round letters keep a smooth, controlled curve without excessive calligraphic flourish, supporting a clean, contemporary reading of a traditional serif model.
