A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. The serifs are finely cut and mostly bracketed, with sharp, hairline terminals that give the contours a crisp, engraved feel. Uppercase forms read formal and measured, with ample internal space in round letters and clear, straight-sided structure in E/F/H-like forms. The lowercase shows compact, bookish proportions and relatively tight apertures, with a two-storey a and g and slender entry/exit strokes that keep the texture lively without becoming calligraphic.
This face is well suited to editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, particularly for headlines, subheads, and display-sized text in magazines and books. It can also support refined branding applications—such as fashion, cultural institutions, and premium packaging—where sharp contrast and traditional detailing communicate seriousness and taste.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking editorial credibility and a classic publishing voice. Its bright, high-contrast sparkle feels sophisticated and slightly dramatic, lending an upscale, cultured character to headings and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, publication-ready serif with heightened contrast and crisp serif detailing, balancing classical proportions with a clean, contemporary sharpness. Its letterforms prioritize elegance and strong typographic presence in prominent text settings.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and hairline details create a pronounced rhythm and a distinct shimmer at larger sizes. The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and sharp terminals that match the text color and formality.
