A high-contrast serif with sharp hairline transitions and a calm, upright stance. Serifs are fine and neatly bracketed, giving the letterforms a polished, sculpted finish without feeling overly ornate. The curves show a pronounced vertical stress (notably in O/Q and the numerals), while straight stems stay clean and decisive, producing a bright, open page color at text sizes. Spacing appears measured and even, supporting a steady rhythm in both capitals and lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, newspaper features, and book sections—where high contrast can add hierarchy and sophistication. It also fits luxury branding and packaging, as well as invitations and cultural materials that benefit from a poised, classic voice. For best results, it will shine in larger sizes or on high-resolution output where the fine details can stay crisp.
The overall tone is formal and refined, with a fashion-forward editorial sheen. Its crisp contrast and delicate details suggest sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or rusticity. It reads as contemporary-classic: traditional structure presented with a sleek, modern sharpness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif: disciplined proportions, elegant hairlines, and a steady reading rhythm that can move smoothly from refined display settings into comfortable editorial use.
Capitals feel stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase maintains clarity through compact joins and carefully controlled apertures. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin terminals that echo the text style. The italic is not shown; the samples emphasize a consistent roman voice across words, punctuation, and figures.
