A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are finely bracketed and often wedge-like, giving terminals a sharp, polished edge while keeping joins smooth. The proportions are relatively broad with open counters and a steady vertical stress, producing an even, dignified rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Lowercase forms show traditional detailing—two-storey a, compact ear on g, and a crisp t with a slender cross stroke—while numerals carry the same contrast and refined tapering.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine and newspaper display typography, and brand identities that want a refined serif voice. It also fits book covers and high-end packaging where contrast and sharp serif detail can be appreciated; for extended small-size text, it will perform best with comfortable spacing and moderate line lengths.
The overall tone is elevated and editorial, mixing classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its gleaming hairlines and sculpted serifs create a sense of luxury and ceremony, suited to typography that wants to feel confident and composed rather than casual.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional serif model with heightened contrast and crisp detailing, delivering a sophisticated display character while remaining grounded in familiar text-serif construction. It aims for a premium, editorial look with strong typographic presence and clear letter differentiation.
In larger sizes the hairlines and pointed terminals read especially clean and elegant, while the strong contrast can make dense settings feel more dramatic. The uppercase has a stately presence with carefully balanced curves (notably in O/Q) and a slightly calligraphic liveliness in diagonals like K, V, W, and X.
