A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical, upright stance. Serifs are sharp and tapered, with crisp terminals that create a clean, engraved impression rather than a soft or bracketted one. The capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in rhythm, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable x-height with compact counters and narrow joins. Curves (notably in O, C, and S) show a smooth, controlled transition into thin hairlines, and the numerals match the same refined contrast and angular finishing for a consistent text-and-display color.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, and book or chapter titling where high contrast can add sophistication. It also fits formal materials such as invitations, certificates, and premium branding, especially when set with generous leading and careful tracking to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward a fashion/editorial elegance with a literary, bookish authority. Its crisp hairlines and disciplined proportions convey formality and sophistication, with a subtle dramatic edge typical of high-contrast serifs.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice that feels authoritative and upscale, pairing refined detail with disciplined proportions for strong presence in headings and polished long-form settings.
At larger sizes the thin strokes and pointed serifs read as especially crisp and decorative, while in dense settings the strong contrast produces a bright, sparkling texture. The ampersand and punctuation in the sample text reinforce the same sharp, calligraphic-engraved character without becoming overly ornate.
