A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and pronounced thick stems, creating a crisp, shimmering texture at text sizes and a dramatic presence in display. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharp, with tapered joins and pointed terminals that hint at a calligraphic, chiseled construction rather than a blunt slab feel. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, while diagonals and arms end in knife-like tips, producing a lively sparkle and clear stroke hierarchy. Uppercase forms are stately and relatively narrow in feel, and the lowercase shows a traditional bookish skeleton with a moderate x-height and compact counters that keep the rhythm tight.
Well suited to headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where high contrast and sharp detailing can be showcased. It can also support refined branding and formal invitations when set with enough size and breathing room to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The font reads as elegant and authoritative, with a fashion/editorial polish. Its contrast and crisp terminals lend a sense of ceremony and sophistication, suited to premium branding and headline settings where a classic voice is desired.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened elegance through strong stroke contrast and finely cut terminals, balancing classical proportions with a more dramatic, editorial finish.
In the sample text, the contrast produces a strong vertical emphasis and a refined cadence, while the thin horizontals and hairlines require adequate size and clean reproduction to maintain clarity. Numerals appear lining and text-oriented, matching the uppercase’s formal tone and contributing to a cohesive, traditional typographic color.
