A high-contrast serif with a distinctly vertical rhythm: thick main strokes are paired with very fine hairlines and crisp, tapering serifs. The letterforms feel sharply drawn and clean, with minimal bracketing and smooth, controlled curves in bowls and shoulders. Proportions are moderately classical with a normal x-height, while spacing and widths vary noticeably across glyphs, creating a lively, editorial texture. Numerals echo the same contrast and include delicate curves and fine entry/exit strokes that read well at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and titling where its hairline details and contrast can remain crisp. It fits magazine and book cover typography, fashion or cultural editorial design, and premium brand identities that want a classic serif voice with strong visual sharpness.
The overall tone is refined and formal, projecting a polished, editorial character with a touch of drama from the extreme stroke contrast. It suggests sophistication and tradition rather than casual or utilitarian use.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif presence—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a clean vertical stress for impactful display typography while still remaining composed enough for short text passages in high-quality print or screen contexts.
In text settings the thin hairlines and delicate serifs become a defining feature, giving paragraphs a bright, high-end sparkle but also making the design feel more suited to larger sizes and good reproduction conditions. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright.
