A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, sharp terminals. Serifs are finely tapered and often wedge-like, with subtle bracketing that lets the heavy stems swell into flared endings. Round letters show clear calligraphic stress, and curves transition into hairlines with taut, clean joins. Proportions are fairly classical with moderate counters and a steady rhythm in text, while capitals read more stately and expansive than the lowercase.
This style performs best in editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section titles, as well as upscale branding where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also work for short blocks of text in print or high-resolution digital layouts where the fine hairlines remain crisp.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining classical bookish authority with a fashion-forward, high-drama sheen. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs give it a luxurious, formal character suited to premium branding and editorial settings.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif model by emphasizing dramatic contrast and flared, sculpted stroke endings. The goal is a confident, premium voice with strong presence in display typography while retaining a coherent, traditional structure for reading.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and delicate hairlines create a bright sparkle at larger sizes, while dense paragraphs still maintain clear word shapes thanks to stable proportions and open interior spaces. The numerals carry the same contrast and tapered finishing, reinforcing the display-forward, refined feel.
