A high-contrast serif with hairline connecting strokes and strong thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with crisp, pointed terminals and a predominantly vertical stress that gives the forms a chiseled, calligraphic clarity. Capitals read stately and spacious, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and elegant joins; overall spacing feels measured, with a smooth rhythm in text despite the delicate horizontals.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine typography, book covers, and refined headline systems where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for premium branding and invitations when used with sufficient size and spacing to preserve its fine details.
The tone is polished and traditional, evoking bookish authority and upscale editorial refinement. Its sharp contrast and fine details convey sophistication and a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text serif: strong contrast, elegant proportions, and precise detailing that project authority in reading text while offering a dramatic, high-end look for display.
The numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with thin crossbars and sculpted curves that keep them consistent with the text. In the sample paragraph, the delicate hairlines remain prominent, so the design benefits from clean reproduction and comfortable sizes that protect the thin strokes.
