A crisp, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with a clean, engraved feel and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow with elegant curves (notably in C, G, S), while the lowercase keeps compact bowls and a restrained, traditional structure. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with delicate joins and refined finishing that emphasize a polished, print-oriented texture in running text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book titles, and magazine headlines where high contrast can be showcased. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and formal invitations when set with generous spacing and appropriate size to preserve the fine detailing.
The overall tone is formal and elevated, evoking classic book typography and fashion/editorial refinement. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing lend a sense of authority and sophistication, with a slightly theatrical edge at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-centric serif voice with pronounced contrast and precise finishing, balancing traditional letterforms with a refined, contemporary crispness for editorial and brand applications.
In the sample text, the light hairlines and sharp serifs create a lively sparkle, especially in mixed-case passages and around punctuation. The design reads as carefully proportioned and conservative rather than playful, with emphasis on crispness and elegance over robustness.
