A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives strokes a sculpted, calligraphic feel. The proportions are on the broad side with generous letter widths and steady, upright construction. Terminals are clean and tapered, counters are open, and the overall rhythm reads formal and carefully balanced, with clear differentiation between straight stems and rounded bowls.
Well suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where a refined, high-contrast look is desirable. It also fits book covers, magazine branding, and poster-style compositions that benefit from a classic serif voice with a crisp, contemporary edge.
The tone is elegant and editorial, combining classical bookish refinement with a dramatic, high-fashion sharpness. It feels confident and authoritative, suited to settings where contrast and polish should carry the message as much as the words.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading tradition with heightened contrast and a more display-leaning presence. It aims to look polished and timeless while providing enough sharpness and width to stand out in prominent typographic roles.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and sharp serif detailing create a lively texture at larger sizes, while the wide set and open counters help maintain clarity across longer lines. Numerals appear similarly high-contrast and display-minded, matching the caps’ formal presence.
