A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing. Serifs are fine and sharply defined, with a generally modern, vertical-stress feel and smooth, rounded bowls set against straight, tapered stems. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in impression, while the lowercase shows a comparatively tall x-height and compact counters that keep texture even in continuous text. Curves and joins are clean and controlled, with pointed terminals and subtle flare in places (notably in letters like a, f, r, and y), producing a polished, print-like rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and headline systems where contrast and fine detail can be appreciated. It can also support book titles and refined brand identities, especially in applications aiming for a premium, classic-yet-modern voice.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, balancing classic bookish heritage with a distinctly contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness. Its strong contrast and precise detailing read as confident and formal, with a hint of drama that suits premium branding and editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation elevated with strong modern contrast and sharp finishing, creating a luxurious typographic color for contemporary editorial and branding contexts.
In the sample paragraph, the type maintains a bright, airy page color despite the heavy contrast, with clear word shapes and a slightly calligraphic snap in certain terminals. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, and the overall set favors elegance over ruggedness, making detailing most visible at display and comfortable text sizes.
