A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, sharp hairline terminals, and finely cut bracketed serifs. The proportions feel open and slightly expanded, with generous counters and a measured, formal rhythm across lines of text. Curves are smooth and sculpted, and joins resolve into tapered, calligraphic-like stress that reads clearly at display sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the same polished contrast, giving the overall texture a bright, airy page color despite the strong stems.
Well suited to magazine and cultural editorial design, book covers, and headline typography where its high contrast can shine. It also fits premium branding and packaging, especially when set with ample tracking and generous leading. For long passages, it will likely perform best at comfortable sizes with good print or screen rendering to preserve its fine hairlines.
The font conveys a refined, editorial tone—stylish and composed rather than casual. Its sharp contrast and delicate detailing suggest luxury and ceremony, with a distinctly literary, fashion-forward sensibility.
Designed to deliver a polished, contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, balancing traditional letterforms with a bright, spacious texture. The overall intent appears geared toward elegant display and editorial settings, where sharp details and refined contrast carry the visual voice.
The italic is not shown; the sample emphasizes upright roman behavior. The lowercase features traditional forms (notably a two-storey “g” and a compact “t”), contributing to a conventional text-serif feel while still leaning toward display elegance due to the extreme contrast.
