A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are fine and generally bracketed, with sharp, tapered terminals and a predominantly vertical stress in rounded forms. Proportions feel balanced and text-oriented, with steady spacing and a smooth, polished rhythm in continuous reading. The lowercase shows calligraphic influence in details like the single-storey “g” and narrow, tapering joins, while capitals remain stately and cleanly structured.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine layouts, and book covers where high contrast and refined detail can be appreciated. It can also support luxury-oriented branding and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, especially at display sizes where hairline features reproduce cleanly.
The overall tone is sophisticated and formal, with a quiet sense of luxury. Its dramatic contrast and slender detailing suggest an editorial, fashion-forward voice while staying rooted in classical book typographic traditions.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic, text-serif voice with heightened elegance through strong contrast and finely drawn serifs. The goal seems to be a composed reading texture that still feels fashionable and premium when set large.
In the sample text, the thin strokes and sharp terminals create pronounced sparkle at larger sizes, and counters remain open enough to keep words legible despite the contrast. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with delicate curves and tapered finishing strokes that feel consistent with the letterforms.
