A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and swelling main strokes, producing a sharp black-and-white rhythm on the page. Serifs are bracketed and neatly tapered, with pointed terminals and a slightly calligraphic stress that reads as traditional rather than geometric. Proportions feel roomy and horizontally generous, while curves are smooth and well-contained, keeping counters clear even as thick strokes dominate. The lowercase shows a single-storey “g” and strong teardrop/ball-like terminals in places, reinforcing a sculpted, display-leaning text serif character.
Works well for editorial design, magazine typography, and book covers where contrast and elegance are assets. It is particularly effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand marks in luxury-leaning contexts, and can also serve as a refined text face when sizes and reproduction conditions preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a sense of drama created by the thin-thick modulation. It suggests classic book typography and fashion/editorial styling—authoritative, elegant, and slightly theatrical rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened refinement: a clean, classic structure paired with pronounced stroke contrast for sophistication and impact. Its wide stance and sharp detailing aim to balance readability with an upscale, display-ready presence.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a distinctive sparkle, especially in large sizes, while the wide set contributes to an airy, premium feel. The numerals and capitals carry the same formal, engraved-like refinement, suitable for attention-grabbing headlines when set with comfortable spacing.
