A high-contrast serif with a distinctly vertical rhythm and crisp hairline serifs. Stems are sturdy while joins and terminals taper to fine points, creating a polished, calligraphic sheen without becoming ornate. The capitals are tall and stately with clean, bracketed serifs and sharply cut diagonals; curves show clear thick–thin modulation. Lowercase forms keep a measured, bookish color, with compact apertures and tapered terminals that add sparkle in text. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes suited to display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where a refined, high-contrast serif can set a premium tone. It also works for branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, fashion-oriented voice, and for pull quotes or section heads where its crisp detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, leaning toward luxury and editorial sophistication. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted curves convey precision and confidence, giving compositions a fashionable, high-end feel while remaining grounded in conventional serif traditions.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text serif: traditional proportions and familiar constructions paired with heightened contrast and sharply finished details for a more glamorous, headline-ready presence.
In the text sample, the strong contrast creates a lively shimmer and clear word shapes, especially in capitals and round letters. The finer strokes suggest it will look best where rendering is clean and sizes are not too small, allowing the hairlines and delicate serifs to stay intact.
