A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and strong vertical stems, showing a distinctly calligraphic modulation across both roman capitals and lowercase. Serifs are fine and sharp with subtle bracketing, and many joins resolve into tapered terminals rather than blunt endings. Proportions read generously wide, with open counters and ample sidebearings, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and clear, traditional forms. Overall rhythm is elegant and slightly dramatic, with delicate details that become prominent at display sizes.
Well-suited to magazine typography, headlines, and book-cover titling where the fine hairlines can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and formal stationery, especially in larger sizes or high-quality print settings where contrast and detail reproduce cleanly.
The tone is refined and authoritative, evoking bookish sophistication and editorial polish. Its sharp hairlines and stately proportions convey a sense of luxury and tradition, with a poised, composed voice suited to high-end communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic text-serif elegance: wide, open letterforms paired with dramatic contrast and precise, refined finishing. It aims to balance readability with a distinctly editorial, upscale presence.
Round letters show pronounced thick–thin transitions and clean, symmetrical bowls, while diagonals and arms taper into pointed or gently flared finishes. Numerals follow the same formal, high-contrast logic, reading crisp and fashion-forward rather than utilitarian.
