A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapering hairlines and strong, vertical main stems. Serifs are bracketed and finely pointed, giving terminals a crisp, carved look rather than a blunt finish. Curves are smooth and controlled with a slightly calligraphic stress, while joins and apertures stay relatively tight for a polished, formal rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and tall, and the overall spacing reads even and composed in both the glyph grid and paragraph sample.
Best suited to magazine and newspaper-style headlines, pull quotes, and high-end branding where the contrast can be a feature rather than a constraint. It will also work well for posters, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a classic, upscale serif presence; for extended text, it will favor larger sizes and comfortable line spacing.
The tone is elegant and editorial, with a fashion-forward refinement that feels at home in premium contexts. Its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing project confidence and formality, evoking classic book typography translated into a more glamorous, display-leaning voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical, high-contrast serif typography: crisp, elegant forms with a disciplined vertical rhythm and refined finishing. It prioritizes sophistication and visual drama for editorial and branding applications.
The numerals and punctuation carry the same thin–thick swing and sharp finishing, which reinforces consistency in headings. At smaller sizes, the very thin hairlines may demand sufficient resolution and generous leading to maintain clarity.
