A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and strong, sculpted stems. Serifs are bracketed and taper to fine points, creating a sharp, formal finish at both baseline and cap height. Curves show clear vertical stress and tight joins, while counters stay open enough for text despite the delicate thin strokes. Proportions feel moderately condensed in the capitals with a slightly calligraphic, chiseled rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book typography, and refined long-form settings where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral like invitations or programs, where the high contrast can read as luxurious and authoritative.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with a distinctly upscale, editorial voice. Its stark contrast and pointed detailing add a sense of drama and authority, reading as literary and formal rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and sharpened detailing, balancing readability with a more fashionable, high-end presentation. Its consistent vertical stress and pointed serif treatment suggest a focus on elegant typographic color and a premium, editorial finish.
In the sample text, the thin strokes become visually prominent as spacing tightens, emphasizing the font’s refined hairlines and sharp terminals. Numerals and capitals have a stately presence suitable for display settings, while the lowercase retains a conventional text-serif structure with a clean, composed flow.
