A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and strong vertical stems, creating a crisp, sculpted texture on the page. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with pointed, knife-like terminals in places that emphasize the calligraphic modulation. The uppercase feels stately and slightly narrow in its internal spacing, while the lowercase shows clear oldstyle influence with a two-storey “a,” a lively “g,” and a narrow, high-contrast “e.” Numerals follow the same dramatic thick–thin rhythm, with curved figures showing a pronounced vertical stress.
This style performs best at display sizes—headlines, magazine layouts, book covers, and pull quotes—where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also support short passages in high-quality print or well-rendered digital environments where contrast remains stable.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, mixing classical book typography with a fashion-like sharpness. Its contrast and precise detailing convey sophistication and seriousness, with a touch of drama suited to premium or literary contexts.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary interpretation of traditional text serifs, prioritizing elegance and contrast for strong editorial voice. It aims to deliver a classic, authoritative feel while remaining crisp and modern in detail.
In paragraph settings the strong contrast produces an energetic rhythm and bright counters, especially in round letters like O/C and in the tightly modeled bowls of B/P/R. The italics are not shown; all samples appear roman/upright.
