A high-contrast serif with a pronounced vertical rhythm, combining thick main stems with very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and elegantly tapered, with minimal bracketing and a clean, chiseled feel at terminals. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a steady, bookish texture with clear calligraphic influence in the stroke modulation.
Well-suited to editorial design such as magazines, book covers, and headline systems where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also support branding for luxury, culture, or hospitality contexts, as well as invitations and formal communications that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
This typeface projects a refined, editorial tone with a sense of tradition and polish. Its crisp contrast and poised detailing feel formal and confident, lending an elevated, literary mood rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to deliver classic sophistication through strong thick–thin modulation and disciplined proportions. It aims for an upscale, print-oriented presence that looks composed in display settings while still retaining a structured text rhythm.
The numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with delicate curves and crisp joins that read as classic and formal. Overall spacing and letterfit in the sample text create a bright, high-end texture, with particularly strong presence in larger sizes where the hairlines can breathe.
