A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, fuller vertical stems, and sharply tapered terminals. The serifs are bracketed and neatly cut, giving the outlines a polished, sculpted feel rather than a blunt slab presence. Proportions are moderately condensed with a lively rhythm, and the joins and curves (notably in bowls and shoulders) show controlled, calligraphic modulation. Numerals and capitals appear balanced and authoritative, while the lowercase maintains clear internal counters and a steady baseline for text setting.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes—where contrast and sharp detail can be showcased. It can also serve as a book face for display or larger text sizes, and as a refined serif for branding, packaging, and identity systems that need a classic, premium tone.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, combining formality with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its contrast and fine details convey refinement and a sense of tradition, while the clean, taut drawing keeps it feeling contemporary and composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif elevated with strong contrast and precise finishing, aiming for a timeless reading voice that also performs confidently in display settings. Its balance of traditional structure and crisp detailing suggests an emphasis on clarity, sophistication, and editorial versatility.
At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and tapered details read as particularly luxurious, while in smaller text the design still keeps a clear, orderly texture due to its disciplined spacing and conventional letterforms. The italic-like liveliness comes from stroke modulation and terminals rather than any obvious slant, preserving a straightforward, upright voice.
