A high-contrast text face with crisp, tapered terminals and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a strong thick–thin rhythm, with hairline joins and pointed entry/exit strokes that feel slightly calligraphic. Proportions are moderately narrow with tall capitals and a steady, bookish lowercase; counters are open, and curves (C, G, S) are clean and controlled. Numerals align with the same contrast model, with sharp angular joins and delicate hairlines that emphasize a refined texture in setting.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial display roles where contrast and sharp detailing can read cleanly. It also fits book covers and premium branding applications that benefit from a classic, high-end typographic voice.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting formality and restraint. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast suggest a premium, fashion-forward sensibility while staying conventional enough to feel familiar and literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast reading texture with modern crispness—balancing classic serif construction and fashionable sharpness for editorial and brand-forward typography.
In the sample text, the strong contrast creates an assertive typographic color at display sizes, while the fine hairlines and tapered serifs add sparkle. The ampersand is traditional and high-contrast, matching the serifed construction and reinforcing a classic, print-oriented personality.
