A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and dominant vertical stems, setting up a sharp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are finely bracketed and tapered, with pointed terminals that read cleanly at display sizes. Proportions feel traditional with moderate caps and a steady x-height, while bowls and shoulders are smoothly modeled and slightly calligraphic in their stress. Spacing appears even and composed in text, with a measured cadence and clear word shapes.
This face excels in headlines and large text where the hairlines and sculpted serifs can stay crisp, making it well suited to magazines, book covers, and high-end branding. It can also work for short-form editorial text and pull quotes when printed or rendered at sufficient size and resolution to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting authority and refinement. Its sharp detailing and pronounced contrast give it a fashion-and-magazine sensibility, while the conventional proportions keep it anchored in classic book typography.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary take on a classic text serif: familiar proportions and readable structures paired with heightened contrast and sharper finishing. It prioritizes elegance and impact for editorial settings while maintaining a disciplined, conventional rhythm.
Uppercase forms feel stately and symmetrical, and the numerals share the same high-contrast logic with elegant curves and delicate joins. The lowercase shows a traditional, readable construction, with a distinctly crafted italic-like liveliness in some curves despite remaining upright overall.
