A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and strong vertical stems that create a distinctly engraved rhythm. Serifs are sharp and mostly bracketed, with pointed, wedge-like terminals that lend a clean, cutting finish to strokes. Curves are smooth and carefully controlled, with narrow joins and a slightly calligraphic stress that reads clearly in both the capitals and the lower-case. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, while letter widths vary naturally—rounds and bowls are generous and open, and narrow forms keep a tight, editorial texture. Numerals match the text style, alternating sturdy verticals with fine hairlines for a consistent, formal color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where the high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It also works effectively for headlines, mastheads, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic, upscale serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a classic, high-end editorial feel. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast suggest sophistication and tradition, while the clean construction keeps it confident rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with elevated contrast and sharp finishing, creating a formal reading texture and an elegant display presence when scaled up.
At larger sizes the hairline detail and pointed terminals become especially prominent, producing a bright, elegant sparkle. In denser settings the strong contrast and tight details can read more assertive, emphasizing hierarchy and a premium, print-oriented character.
